Finishing the day w/ a nice glass of Riesling that I picked up today - it's the only white wine I can handle, the rest give me horrible headaches...why I mostly stock my house with Reds.

Quite delish...I make sure I stick w/ German Rieslings - where it's harvested in a cooler climate. The wine is highly acidic but offers green flavors (apples/grapes) with floral notes, and a hint of citrus (lemon/lime). It's a nice change from my usual reds...

I am such a wine snob that it's not even funny...hey, you only live once...why drink cheap wine?!! ;)

Wine to me is passion. It's family and friends. It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It's culture. It's the essence of civilization and the art of living.
