I enjoy alot of Croetian wines. Dalmatiner or something is what it's called. I also like lambrusco. During my time in Germany/The rest of europe I tried alot of wines. Now I wish I knew all the names.

I should be more specific, so I edited this post, I have like seven bottles of wine under my kitchen counter...
It depends upon what you are eating as to what you should drink...
A heavy meal, such as lasagna calls for a nice red wine, I would suggest a cabranet (and please excuse my spelling, what I have learned I did so with the help of the fine people at whole foods...)
A lighter meal or just desert would call for a sweeter wine. I have a bottle of white sangria that is dry and very sweet... it's quite awesome.
If you want to drink a wine just by it's self, and you are not particular, I'd go with a rose. (It's my favorite right now, it also goes well with everything!) My choice on the rose is made by Monkey Bay, and it's just awesome!
If you want to know more, just IM me, I'm now very tired and not making sense much.

Wine = Sweet
Anything from the Yellowtail variety is good, it was a house staple for my roommates and I. I'm not sure of the availability where you are, but I've run into a few blueberry wines that were great. If you want to on point for wine you really need to read about it. Any intro wine book will explain tanin and other taste factors that will help you choose the best drunk, I mean wine for you.
Drink and be merry

From my grandpa, I've learned that Port wine is the worst tasting urine in the world.

Tex you are not yet of age so you should not be in this thread. On another note, cheap port is terrible. A good port needs heavy food to be appreciated.

No, but I have to babysit my 21 year old cousin whenever he drinks, and he seems to complain the most when everclear is the drink

yeah....
It tells you on the bottle to not do shots of everclear without mixing it. That's how bad it is.
At my dad's old work (liquer store), One customer always made an order a certain way. "Yeah, uh let's see here. Let me get a Pint of Stupid."

Everclear is good for "Jugle Juice" aka "Fuzzy Water" - you just get a bunck of fruit cocktail, fruit punch and a 5 gallon cooler. Line the cooler with a trash bad and fill it with a bottle of Everclear, the fruit cocktail, and the fruit punch - wait 3 days, dump a bag of ice in there and have a party.
Jill - did you ever try that Ice Wine?
