Sweet Dreams.

Chenin Blanc is good.

I like Carlo rossi

Light and crisp; you might also like Pinot Grigio.

Do you usually drink wine with food or without?

Does he like you, too?

I tried the Chenin Blanc with some lasagna. Didn't go together so well. Once I had a glass on it's own, I loved it. Saturday night, I had a Smoking Loon Pinot Noir. Wasn't bad.

Yeah, you probably want a red wine with lasagna- either a dry red like a chianti or a big red like a cabernet.

Pinot Noir is a good sipping red. It's a light red but still rewarding. You don't need food with that one (but you can pair it with food it you like).

I'm thinking I'll stick with water with meals. I like to have a glass of wine while watching a movie or something.

Do you like rich wines? You should try an Amarone sometime- it'll knock your socks off!

Just getting into wine, which means within the last few weeks. I'm still not sure what all I'll like and not like. There are some wineries in Missouri. I really should make that my next road trip.

The first time I ordered wine in a restaurant:

The first time I ordered wine in a restaurant I was on a date with a girl who was completely too high society for me- we were a terrible match. Of course, she was very beautiful and I really enjoyed discussing literature with her so I endured the associated interests in balet and food snobbery. Anyway, we were at this she-she restaurant and the waiter comes over to get our drink order. My date ordered a Cabernet. The waiter turns to me and I freeze for a second becuase at this time I know nothing about wine. Trying to avoid embarrassment about my wine-ignorance I decided to order the same thing as my date. Unfortunately, I thought she had ordered a caberet. Good times. At least she and the waiter had fun.

Visiting wineries is good because you can taste a number of wines for cheap or free and usually the guy/ gal pouring the wine is happy to tell you what's what. That said, I have never had wine from Missouri, never knew they made wine there so my expectations would be low.

i hope my kids are born with the crazy gene like I am that just makes me want to drive fast and chug scotch

I always thought wine was "high class". If I'm drinking it, though...

Eh. Just a good way to sit back and relax. Read a book, watch a movie, having a good conversation with an old friend....it's just relaxing. I don't see anything high class about it.
