Luzon Verde

[Reephdweller]

<p>Last week me and Amy were in Stew Leonards and came across this wine called Luzon Verde, a little odd by the label with this grass on it. It had a very good rating and was only around $7.99 I picked it up and I'm having it tonight, it's very good. Very drinkable and smooth. </p><p><img height="201" src="http://library.bevnetwork.com/labels/645/34477.jpg" width="173" border="0" /></p><p></p><p>The dense ruby/purple-tinged, medium-bodied 2004 Lu<!--This content belongs to bevnetwork.com and BEVMAX-->zon Verde reveals a crisp, elegant, sweet nose of blueberries, plums, lavender, and anise. With lovely sweetness and purity as well as a spicy, long finish, it should provide plenty of enjoyment over the next 2-3 years. Robert Parker (89).</p><p></p>

Woodbridge, Luna Di Luna, or Kendall Jackson have always been satisfying as well...

<p>Another good wine for folks that want to get into wine with out breaking the bank is Bully Hill from Upsate NY. They make a wine called Goat White that is very good. sweet but not too sweet. It costs about 6-7 bucks a bottle. They alos make a rose wine called Pink Catawba. Very good, and always gets the wife a little frisky</p><p><a href="http://bullyhill.com/">http://bullyhill.com/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If ya want red, Red Cat bu Hazlitt, also Upsate is great, about 8 bucks a bottle.

I like a good dry sauvignon blanc or a dry pinot grigio. Chardonay tastes too oaky for me.
