wine with cigars

[reaganyouth84]

I bought a bottle of wine from the Biltmore Estate the other day. Pretty good stuff, its a white zinfandel, and goes great with pasta, chicken, pretty much anything italian. Its really good wine and the price tag is nice too. Only $5.99 for a 750 ML bottle. I've never had wine with a cigar though.

I like red meat and game, my wife won't go near beef, she is more of a fish/chicken girl so a good pinot noir from Cali usually works for both of us. Arcadian Pinot Noir is a great wine, but it's a small vinyard and I can't usually find it around NH.

I would definitely second a Bordeaux. St Emillion is especially suited to more full bodied cigars (Cohiba Siglo iv for example).

With a Montecristo I would choose a Mojito (what else ) or even a beer. I had a couple of pints of London Pride with a Montecristo number 2 last week and the combination was surprisingly pleasing.

The Biltmore Estate in Ashville NC? Very cool place. I spent a couple of nights at a B&B in Ashville last year, toured the estate, rode some horses and finished up the night doing some tasting's at the Winery.

It's a great place to take a date.

Kenyth, what you describe is fairly common in older guts( like mine) and known as alcohol ( or any corrosive food) induced gastritis...ask the quack about PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS.
He will try to get you to stop drinking and smoking altogether but when you explain that there would be no point to living after that, he will probably give you some to take if you are expecting to have a drink or texmex that day.
Cohibanut, I couldn't agree more. Beer goes great with a monte2 and although I drink wine alot, I would prefer beer with a cigar.
Now I have said this before but you should try straight rum ( dark heavy) navy rum with a heavy cigar. Nothing finer than a swallow of lambs navy rum followed by the smoke of a good maduro....the taste of both just explode on the tongue....right thats it I've set myself off....got to go, no No 2's left but still got No4's.
HEY COHIBANUT, NO GARLIC

What? Not even with frogs legs?

[watty]

frogs legs is it? I am more of a wing man but you don't see many frogs wings, with or without garlic. And while I'm on, what about buffalo wings...plenty of meat but take a helluva 12 bore to bring one of those suckers down. and you never here of buffalo legs...do they chuck them or is that what macdonalds uses.
Also , do they pluck or skin them, and what wine would you recommend with it?
