ummm I'm a pinot gris drinker but The Ned wines are good across most of their varietals, both DP and I have worked with them.
Kim Crawford reserve is good. It all depends on flavours that you want. The Sleeping Giant Chards are good although a little bit more pricey, nice big bold buttery. Dog Point Sav ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Mmm, Stoneleigh and Oyster Bay ....
I like Huntaway Reserve chard but hardly ever have it. I've got some Saints chard and The Ned pinot gris tucked away and will stock up on more when it's cheap. I do my buttery chards.
Can anyone recommend a good spicey red? ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I like the Marlborough Savs.
Favourites are: St Clair Sauvignon Allan Scott Sauvignon Spy Valley Sauvignon If you ever wanted to splurge and can get your hands on a St Clair Special Reserve or Pioneer Block I would definately go for it. **mouth waters for wine** |

I'm a red girl, my fav is a Syrah, but I can't remember the name of it, so no help to you Otherwise, I can't go past a yummy Pinot Noir - Mt Difficulty do a yummy one, also Rabbit Ranch do a really good cheap one.
If I have a white I'll go for a Pinot Gris, mmmmm
ETA - DH told me to add Martinborough Vineyards Pinot Noir too
Now I want a wine **DROOL** -------------

Mmm wine!! I like the Selaks ice wine - my fav desert wine.
I also love Pinot Gris forgot the maker of the one I really like but I think they're from up Gisbourne way . Don't mind red wines. Hate the bubbly/sparkly kind of wines - yuck. Don't mind Sav's but yeah the first 2 I prefer. ETA: My gran loves the cheap Riccadona (sp?) wine forgot the type - sure it'll come to me, it's not too bad. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Boo I shouldn't have come in here
My all time favourite is Allan Scott Reisling. Their Sav is nice too. We drink lots of Cloudy Bay here as well coz it's easy to get and nice. Actually anything from Marlborough is generally pretty tasty  ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

villa maria sav for me when at home. Not fussy when I am out but generally drink savs and pinot gris.
As for red I normally do a merlot or a cab blend. Wolfblass is one that is coming to mind. Have no experience in wine tasting just like what I like IYGWIM |

For spicy reds your looking at a Syrah or Shiraz Stonecroft or Bilancia which are abit pricey or Yalumba if you can get your hands on it think Barossa Valley in Australia, they generally do some good ones.
Oh Craggy range also has some good ones, the sav is passionfruit and those sorts of flavous, the chard is good and the Merlot they also do your reserves etc. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Natarawa Stables I love, with the Sav or the Chard. Mudhouse is yum, and so is Villa Maria. I use to work with Wino's infact their number plate is WINOS, so I learnt alot from him!!! When I go out I usually drink the house wine. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Brown Brothers Moscato for a sweet wine or their Merlot
Soljans Fusion for a sweet bubbly (LOVE the stuff!!) I know that anything that uses the muscat grape is quite sweet which I like but a lot of people don't other than that I don't really take much notice of wines I enjoy but I really should. i might actually try a couple of the suggestions on here too

Good to see that a few of you have the good taste to love Oyster Bay (not that I work for them and am biased!! )
WestBrook do a beautiful Riesling and NobleOne is a great dessert wine ------------- Lindsey

Shingle Peak Pinot Gris is nommy (and it's really cheap this week but I can't tell you where cos it might be breaking forum rules ).
I always feel really bad buying wine when I'm obviously PG. My cellar is nicely expanding though. When I'm in the wine aisles, I always find myself saying "let's get some wine for Dad, Dan" really loudly in case I'm being watched  ------------- Mum to two wee boys |
