Wine, anyone?

I love a good glass of white wine. The problem is, I haven’t found enough types of wine that I like. I hate the really dry wines, but I don’t want them as sweet as Kool-Aid either. When I went to Italy with my husband, we had some WONDERFUL house wines, but I didn’t have a clue what I was drinking. They just came with the meal.

So, I’d love to know, what’s your favorite white wine? Doesn’t have to be a brand name, but is there a particular kind like Riesling, Chardonnay? I want to try some new things. Recommendations would be great!

Another historical tidbit for you: In medieval Ireland, it was rare for a man or woman to marry only once. Divorce was common, and either side could back out of a marriage for various reasons (including impotence!). Even priests could marry. It was only after the 12th century when the Anglo-Normans invaded that matters began to change.

    I’m a wine idiot, myself. My husband loves it and knows about different kinds, so I make him choose for me. Sorry I’m no help! :drunk:

    geez, if you’d just ask me about RED wine! Now that’s a subject I could go on and on about :thumbsup:

    Of course, there’s nothing better than an ice cold beer on a hot summer’s day :beer:

    Man…I was hoping someone could tell me what a Chianti was or a Vino Blanco. I need to go wine tasting or something…:drunk:

    Ohhh, I love wine too much. My favorite: Opus by Mondavi and Rothchild. Also, and this isn’t a wine, but I love Moet Chandon White Star Champagne. In fact, I’m heading for the liquor cabinet after I finish this pots . . .:rotfl:

    Mary–great! Thanks. I’ll see if I can find those. I like champagne, too. Maybe I’ll have a good excuse (like selling a book!) soon to buy some. :beer:
