Quattro Mani, a Montepulciano. One of the best midlevel (~$15) wines I've ever had.

@ frenchtart: Because I used to live in France, and it was the closest thing on the menu to a rose. Nothing beats cool, crisp rose on a hot, humid Boston evening. And nothing goes better with fine asian cuisine than a nice Rose d'Anjou, or a Cotes de Provence. It being PF Chang's, the run-of-the-mill Beringer White Zinfandel was appropriate: American, mass-produced, corn infused. I wouldn't drink Chateauneuf du Pape with a cheesesteak, now would I?

Ed, I'm also a flavor junkie. I love a good sweet beverage; Cherokee Red, Orangina, POM, Iced Tea, I love it all.

But in my own efforts to trim some weight, I've been trying hard to drink water. I find that adding slices of lemon and lime really help. They make the water less boring. Adding ice helps spice things up too.

@terplinz: I was going to mention the Kosher Coke. I just learned about that today from someone in my office.
