If you like whites, you are cool and sophisticated. If you like white zinfandel, you were raised on bubble gum and rock and roll. Been drinking white zinfandel ever since!

My first visit to a winery was Robert Mondavi many years ago, but I most enjoyed a trip to Italy one fall when my son drove me and his younger brother all over Tuscany. Of course, we bought a bunch of bottles.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you know about trends in corking. Last week we had a bottle of red wine with a glass stopper or cork if you will. I have gotten over the shock of plastic corks but this was new to me.<BR/><BR/>Great posts and thanks for sending your mom my way. I hope she starts a blog.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482567840321600439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-37495163555704460992007-10-12T06:17:00.000-07:002007-10-12T06:17:00.000-07:00I'm not sure why "Exploring Wines" didn't tip me o...I'm not sure why "Exploring Wines" didn't tip me off before, but that is the very same book we used in culinary school for our wine class! It's a wonderful book, but you make it much easier and nicer to read.<BR/><BR/>And now, I am thirsty. ;) (It's only 9am here!!)Maggie Moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924053807057800082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-28697282117208666222007-10-12T03:55:00.000-07:002007-10-12T03:55:00.000-07:00thanks for the wine tips, I'll be sure to use them...thanks for the wine tips, I'll be sure to use them next time I eat out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-53007417341645752642007-10-11T17:50:00.000-07:002007-10-11T17:50:00.000-07:00I cannot say enough about how wonderful Wine for D...I cannot say enough about how wonderful Wine for Dummies is. It has a wide array of faux pas prevention tactics, how to pronounce those pesky little names for those who do not speak French. <BR/><BR/>I have to wonder, how is the VAMPIRE vintage? I remain afraid of the campy names. <BR/><BR/>Should you be out this way, there is a lovely Virginia wine - Naked Mountain Chardonnay - <BR/><BR/>You need to git you some of that!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434322752121785631noreply@blogger.com
