Try white Merlot... It's like White Zin, only not sweet and fizzy.

It's my new fav...

Interesting, never knew they made White Merlot.......What label has White Merlot?

I'm from Indiana and I've driven past the winery about 1000 times, but I have seen it at Meijier's here in Michigan, so they may have it in TN as well. They're very sweet. Their mead is outstanding as well (actually, most of their wines are really good, but the Softs are just the wines that are everywhere).
Coconuts,

You are so correct Oliver Winery is EXCELLENT!!! Their Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are excellent wines As is their Gewurztraminer, Pinot Grigio, and Cardonel. All are dry wines with the exception of the Gewurztraminer. Excellent Vino.

Jacobs Creek also has a very tasty Shiraz.

A visit to the winery in the spring is quite the treat with all the lovely tulips and spring flowers blooming.
Oh yeah- Tom's a convert now! Have you tried the Traminette? I loved that one, and their port was also excellent.

Yes, had it with Thanksgiving dinner.....delic!!! I like their port, especially in those little chocolate cups.

Hey lets meet for a wine tasting next year, its been a while since I saw you at Cheeseburger.

Jacob's Creek topping that list

Syrah and Shiraz are the same thing. Also sometimes call Sirah. Crazy auzzies like the Shiraz name while the frenchie name is Syrah.

It's GOTTA be Veuve Clicquot....my favorite bubbly.
I also love lots of Long Island wines--they're making some great ones! Wolffer Estate Merlot, Corey Creek Gewurtztraminer, Channing Daughters Chardonnay, Lieb Pinot Blanc, Bedell Cupola....I could go on and on....I'm getting thirsty...

I have to say that anything my husband makes is a winner(especially the Merlot) and there are a few old time BN'ers who can attest to that!
