A WHINE ABOUT…WINE!

Another short blog this week—still have a house full of company (it's been a whirlwind of activities!), but I recently discovered something I must share with all the Whiners.  I've always wanted to be wine connoisseur—someone who could speak intelligently on the subject and swish a bit of golden liquid around in a crystal glass and pronounce it "oaky" with "floral undertones" or words of that nature.  Alas, I am nothing of the sort, can't tell a cabernet from a merlot, and all white wine is chardonnay to me.

I actually don't care that much for wine–I much prefer champagne.  Love the bubbles and the festive air that goes with it.  But last week I was introduced to a wine that I'd never tried before and I think I'm now a convert.  The wine was a sauvignon blanc—it's a white wine with a very light, crisp taste and I really liked it.  To me it tasted like summer and sunshine. It doesn't have bubbles, but I'll definitely be trying again!

Do you have a favorite wine?  Or are you more a champagne person?  Or maybe your favorite drink is more along the lines of a Diet Coke or maybe Yoohoo?  What are you pouring in your glass?  Hope you had a great weekend!
