It seems to pair with just about everything: All meats, cheeses and pastas.
CAUTION: Do not consume this wine with vegetables or fruits.

I dont know a ton either . I know enough to know what I like , for the most part . I think when my grandmother soaked bones in wine to numb my teething as a baby , something must have clicked . I started off as a kid drinking kinda sweet German whites , whats know as a Liebfraumilch . My favorite was Zeller Schwarze Katz . The label was different back then but I would kinda pound that stuff as a boy .MikeDennison wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 7:04 am I don't know much about wine at all, but I'm sure there are at least a coupla oenophiles lurking around. I've never been able to develop a taste for the stuff.
I saw a meme the other day referring to Gen x [ of which Im the first year of ] growing up on hose water and neglect [ lol ] ... add to that , Liebfraumich

At the risk of derailing this discussion, the first thing that came to mind was a Robin Williams act I saw while an impressionable youth.

I'm in the leading edge of GenX as well. I had both parents in the home but they both worked full time. I wasn't neglected per se, but I was raised to be independent! I came home to an empty house after school, and had to get supper on the stove. Mom would finish it up when she got home, but I did all the prep baby! Did my own laundry, ironing, and button replacement .Ruffinogold wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 8:40 pmI dont know a ton either . I know enough to know what I like , for the most part .

But there was no wine: our household was strictly non drinking. I didn't try alcohol of any kind until I was out and on my own. It never really became a "thing" for me. I enjoy a nice, dark, bitter ale from time to time, but I've never been able to get past the "cough medicine" effect of most alcoholic beverages I've tried.
Except for bourbon. I don't keep that stuff in the house. I like bourbon. A lot. It tastes good.
