message 51: by Debra (new)

Debra Hello...I'm new here. Thank you so much for adding me to the group! I'm excited to share my love of books and wine with like minded friends. My current favorite is Monchhof Estate Rielsing from Germany. I enjoy trying new wines, and we have several good wineries and award-winning wines in my area.

Jason (ancatdubh2) | 912 comments Welcome, Debra!

I had two wines today: I had a Vinho Tinto from Portugal which I didn't like very much, and then I said fuck that and opened a bottle of Toscana instead. Mmmm.....

Debra I usually prefer whites to reds, but over the holidays I tried a L'Ecole Cab from Walla Walla Valley that was very good.

Gary  the Bookworm (garmct) | 183 comments Welcome wine-drinking reader! I'm glad you can recommend some white wines. Everyone seems to focus on reds. I'll drink anything and I like some diversity. I'm much more particular about my books than I am about my wines.

Dispatcher209 | 9 comments Hello fellow winos and readers!! I'm Gail from central California. I'm new to this group and goodreads. Unfortunately, I usually go through periods where I will read like crazy and then I won't read anything for a few months. I'm not as inconsistent with wine though. I've been into Pinot Noirs lately. Tomorrow I actually have to go to Napa for a work conference for a few days. I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be some wine tasting involved!! I'm glad to meet all of you. :)

Jason (ancatdubh2) | 912 comments Welcome to the group, Dispatcher! We are all pretty lax here. Some of us are regular monthly readers, others meander through month-to-month, depending on the book choice. You'll fit right in.

From Goodreads on Twitter-seemed apropos ;-)

Abbie, she's a good friend of mine from the greater Goodreads world. She's in like, 800 other book clubs, though, so I'd be surprised if we hear a lot from her.

message 63: by Randy (new)

Randy I love red wine and so do ya'll. I read books and you guys and gals do too...I like learning about wine, finding deals on wine and mostly drinking it! Good luck.
We have a small wine growing region in Arkansas but it is mostly wines that rednecks crave...thank God for the West Coast and its grapes!

Jason (ancatdubh2) | 912 comments I'm not sure what I'll be drinking tonight, but it's gonna be something strong I think.


message 65: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (ashleydief) Well I still consider myself a new member. I requested to join awhile ago, but I haven't been able to let myself be known!

My name is Ashley, and I am from southeastern PA. Wine and books are two of my favorite things in life, so when I came across this group, I was so hyped!

I enjoy reading mysteries and historical fiction. As for wines, I enjoy white wines. My favorite at the current moment is Chardonnay.

Thank you for welcoming me and it's nice to meet all of you!

Jason (ancatdubh2) | 912 comments Nice to meet you, Ashley! I'm still reading February's book because life is crazy right now but it will calm down soon and then I will be back to my old reading self.

Lately I've been drinking more beer and whisky than wine, but don't tell anybody.

By the way I LOVE that you follow Wil Wheaton.


message 67: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (ashleydief) Thank you, Jason! I think he's cool! We were both reading Game of Thrones at the same time at one point, which I thought was pretty cool too.

Glad to be a part of the group!
