    I drink red wine in moderation.  When I have too much I get dry mouth, my heart races at night and I can get reflux. (it doesn't help when I get together white my father in law and brother in law, we will go through 3-5 bottles of wine like it is nothing lol)  White wine I drink like it is the end of the world lol.  I absolutely love pinot grigio and do like sauvignon blanc from new zealand and chile although lately it is a little too tart for my palette.  
    Gonna ditch the (regular, organic) beer this weekend and trY wine...for the first time in Years...
    Go white. It isn’t my cup of tea but a lot of people like Riesling.  Too sweet for me. 
    Riesling doesn’t have to be sweet. It depends on how it’s made. The Germans send us their poor quality wines and keep their spectacular dry Rieslings, plus other varietals. 
     
    I've never had a German wine that I liked.

    Me either. Every Riesling I have ever had was sweet. I do like their beer.

    Like I said, they export the bad wine and keep the good wine.  Which makes sense; it’s what I’d do.

    Fair enough. Since they are out there, I figured tons of people must like sweeter wines, from barely to very ... I personally loathe them though. They're just not for me.

    Yup. And I agree that German Rieslings in the US are not always the best examples of Rieslings out there. But here's a recommendation I can make for a fantastic Riesling out of Washington, and reasonably priced.

    I don't even care. I buy BC wines exclusively now, just to support the local economy. Luckily, BC wines are some of the best in the world too. Most Americans wouldn't know that though, apparently. I tried to find some BC wines when I was down there, and there was literally not a single bottle on the shelves in any of the stores I went to.

    You know you love it!  I love how everyone is coming together because of vino, reminds me of Sunday dinner.  We even have spiritual drinking some wine this weekend!! It is in the 40’s here so I just opened a nice Sonoma cab. Allie your sister would kill me but when I drink red I have to put in ice cube or two. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
