This week's Wine Wednesday is pretty interesting. I must have been verry confused in the grocery store, because I bought red wine.
Which would be fine, except I don't really like red wine.
No worries, I am a champ and I soldiered on through.
I realize that this particular red wine is supposed to be served pretty warm, like 65 degrees warm, but I could only power through it with some crushed ice in my glass.
And maybe a splash (or 5) of simple syrup.
Judge away, but read wine is not for sissies. And I am most definitely a sissy.
And as I type this post on Tuesday night... it is giving my head a mighty pounding and I didn't even finish a whole large glass.
On the upside, I do give this Wine Wednesday photo an A+. Might be one of my favorites to date.
What are YOU drinking tonight?

I'm totally a red wine drinker but I typically drink red in the fall/winter.
My fave sumemrtime wines are Chateau Thomas wines- muscat cannelli and fleur de peche are great white, lightly sweet, lightly sparkly wines!
I love red and white wine. Red was a little bit harder for me to get into. I love Cabernet (francis coppola makes an amazing cab) and then No.8 Cab is awesome too.
Don't give up, they get better. Try a cabernet, they are sweeter.
I like red wine but I wouldn't like Barefoot Shiraz either! A nice light red is Grenache or Cab from 2008 that's younger. The more you drink the better it tastes!
i love red wine - like eternal lizdom, i'm a winter red wine-er.... or a late night red-wine-er.
i really love coppola merlot, rabbit ridge merleot, and menage trois blend. yum!
Another red wine lover here! But in the summer i LOVE LOVE LOVE moscato. That's on tap for tonight!
I'm not too adventurous when it comes to wine though...Yellow Tail Pinot Noir is what I usually pick up!
Water :0)
I loved red wine...but when it's in sangria in the summer! Mmmmmm!
I love red wine - but I think your prob was the barefoot shiraz... not the best.
Try a merlot, a cab or zin. I agree with the other commentors who like Coppola - it's a solid choice. I also like Hess Select & Concannon.
I love red wine but omg I can not drink barefoot. That makes me I'll every time try!
I love wine wednesday.
Please keep drinking red wine you will like it more and more.
Cabs are some of my fav and so is malbec.
bottoms up!
I am so with you on the red wine. I always feel like it needs an ice cube!
I used to be a white wine only drinker like you, but I've accidentally become more of a red girl. Give merlot a go (Coppola, mentioned elsewhere in the comments) makes a tasty, inexpensive one, and then maybe try a pinot noir.
FWIW, I'd recommend hold off on cabs until later; at first, they seemed too bitter too me, but I love a smooth one now.
*steps off wine soapbox (wine fridge?)*
I'm not much of a red wine drinker, either, but I do enjoy sangria with a healthy splash of that -- and fruit! It needs to be sweet. I'm totally a sissy, too.
I always put ice cubes in my red wine. I'm classy like that! :)
