I think it's like anything though. You might find the taste strong to begin with it, but push through and you'll end up loving it :lol:
That's what happened to me with coffee when I was 15 and doing work experience at a newspaper. All of the journos were drinking coffee and I didnt want to look like a kid (which I was!). So I drank it even though I didnt like it. It was the start of the great love affair of my life......
A few red wine lovers here on BB ;) knew there would be! Thanks girls.
Just found two wineries within 25mins of me, great!!! Now to convince dh to drive me one weekend so I can taste test hehe
My DH is a winemaker and has always loved reds. I remember it took me awhile to like them. Maybe start with something soft like a merlot or pinot. Cab sav and shiraz are usually bigger wines. However, my favourite all time is a sparkling shiraz. Yummmm. Blends might also be easier to drink than a straight up cab or shiraz.
Enjoy!
Check out my blog (link in signature) - the entries in May are from when I did a wine appreciation course.
My favourites from the reds were Shirazes from Barossa and McClare Vale regions, I also like Pinot Noirs particularly from NZ or Yarra Valley ... Temparanillo was delicious too, and Merlots and Merlot blends are often a nice, soft way to start.
Thanks Three Graces & Peanutter!
Well, I bit the bullet and while we were out tonight I bought myself a bottle of red! My first bottle :lol: I went with the Brown Brothers Dolcetto, and I LOVE it!! It's very sweet, like the brown brothers moscato but yeah, really nice!!!!!
So while DD2 is fast asleep I'm enjoying 2 glasses with some chocolate..... ah good times..... ;)
Lambrusco (sp?) and Ruby Red are two other popular sweet reds :)
Enjoy!
