Do you drink wine?

[limewave]

I have one glass of wine when we go out for dinner, which is about once a month, sometimes twice (if we're lucky). I used to only like sweet white wines. But, after having a specialty wine dinner, I've learned to really like some of the reds as well. Now I order a red wine when we go out.

I have tried a few wines over the years and have decided that pinot noir is the best for me. It doesn't have a dry aftertaste. I had gone on a "wine spree" and was drinking one glass a day for a few months..Unfortunately I had to stop. What I noticed was, if I had a glass before dinner I tended to eat more at dinner. It compounds my acid reflux issue...I shouldn't be drinking alcohol and I shouldn't be overeating..so my wine days have changed drastically. I drink it every so often when I'm out to dinner.

I used to live in CA wine country and was a member of a wine club that I LOVED. Now that I live in UTAH it is a very precious commodity. We literally have to "ration" our wine. My husband and I already have a list of wines to stock up on when we are back in CA for Thanksgiving! I would say the most important thing about wine is to drink what you enjoy. It is unfortunate that wine has become a somewhat snobby hobby since it is such a wonderfully warm and welcoming drink. Don't worry about what other people say or feel that you have to drink certain wines to appear sophisticated. I've enjoyed expensive wines and I've also enjoyed 2 buck chuck (Charles Shaw). Price does not always indicate the level of quality. So sample a variety and you'll find your favorites! Have some friends over for a wine tasting party and you can try more at once that way. Have fun with it!
