have a question for the wine drinkers

[crewsweeper]

There's a Publix grocery about a mile down the road from the port. They have a decent selection of wines. Most Publix stores carry Kim Crawford wines from New Zealand. KC makes a nice Pinot Noir and good Sauvignan Blanc and Pinot Grigio and usually run under $15 per bottle. These have the screw tops so you don't have to worry about a corkscrew or trying to recork the top.

 

Since wines available in Florida vary due to which distributors have contracts to carry which wines, some of the smaller vineyards recommended here may not be available in Port Canaveral. Cape Canaveral Liquors near the port also caries a selection of wines and can help you chose something.

Can someone reccomend a bottle of white and a bottle of red we can buy at a liquor store in port canaveral. We are from Canada and I always have a hard time buying wine when I am in the states because there is such a different selection. For a red I normally would get a Cab, Merlot or Pinot Noir. White, I do not like really sweet although I do enjoy a gewürztraminer. Oh - and I am looking to pay up to about $15 a bottle. Any suggestions?

 

 

A coworker gave me an awesome bottle of wine for christmas. It is a white semi-sweet wine. Its Starling Castle Reisling. You won't regret it. ;)

Our favorite every day wine is the Ménage à Trois red blend. We took this wine to a blind tasting with several expensive wines, and the majority of the people at the tasting chose this wine!

I can't really help with the reds, as I am not a red wine drinker. I will, however on occasion, drink a blush and in that case, I'd recommend Beringer.

 

For a white wine, I have to recommend one of my favorites, its an Australian moscato type wine called Alice White Lexia. Its like an Italian moscato and sweet, if you like that type of wine. It's also reasonably priced at less than $10 for a bottle. For an italian moscato, I'd recommend Castello-del-Poggio, its a great brand at around $10 a bottle as well.

I love, love love Menage Trois red also!!! It's a red blend...

 

DITTO! This is the best red wine I have ever had, and it's very inexpensive. I also like Yellow Tail Shiraz.

Pinot Grigio is a good, dry white. you can never go wrong with Mondavi (any varital). Coppola has a good Pinot Grigio as well as Ecco Domani.

 

+1 on the Ecco Domani suggestion.

Although I personally prefer Santa Margherita, I place EC as a nice second choice, and it fits your desired/quoted price range.

Enjoy your cruise!!! :)

Coppola Pinot Grigio is an excellent dry white, and the ABC liquor stores in Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach usually stock it.

 

Coppola has a good Pinot Grigio . . .

 

Well now . . . .

I've seen the Coppola brand wines on the store shelves multiple times, and never once considered them. I'm going to pick up a bottle this week based on the suggestions of both of you. Thanks for offering that info. :)

Almost anything from the Bulgarian Vinters has a great flavor and it is getting quite easy to find in the stores aroun Port Canaveral area as we have an importer in Cocoa now
