A dessert wine and rather sweet, but mmmmm I liked it. Acquired thanks to my friend Carole who doesn't care for wine (!!)--what is wrong with her?? Well, her loss was my gain. Thank you Carole!

I wouldn't cry over spilled milk but I would quite possibly shed a tear if I spilled my wine
This is...
...my online journal chronicling the wines I've tried, which serves a dual purpose. First, to avoid being condemned to repeat the past, and second, to aid me in my search for my own personal Holy Grail (which would, of course, be filled with The Perfect Wine). I prefer reds, but I will try anything once! And then make fun of it here.

I remember the days when I was, in my own words, "not much of a wine drinker"... this was sometime in the previous century. That classification began with the glass of "hot red wine with spices" that my sister made for me once when I was visiting her with a cough that was keeping me awake at night. I never did tell my sister this, but what was in that glass seemed to me like the exact temperature and flavor of vomit. I know, ick! So from then on I was "not much of a wine drinker"... until that one fateful night when Kay got ahold of me. She started me off easy with Berenger White Zinfandel and I have never looked back. For a while I only liked "pink" wines until Amy simultaneously made fun of me for this and opened my eyes.
