Anyone else love wine?

I'll add my voice to those who enjoy a nice wine, from time to time. Echos from other posts, I like it with my meals. I lean towards evenly balanced wines of both red and white. Va. wines are not my favorite, though I reside there. One of my faves for warm days is Phat Bastard Chardonay. VERY easy on the palate, with some fine citrus overtones!

I used to try to like wines, but my senses of taste and smell are quite acute - I used to work for Allied Lyons doing storage testing. I detect things to which most people are oblivious.

There were some which were OK - but I was never a great drinker.

Then I found Moscato d'Asti on the shelves at Tesco.

Sigh.

It is just slightly fizzy, light on the alcohol, and a long series of flavours. Each year was different, all were good.

Then one year it was not there, and it has never reappeared.

After a while I looked it up on the internet.

Other people must have like it too - I can't afford it now.

I have tasted a few wines since - but not found anything like the Moscato d'Asti, so I have given up drinking wine.

The Asti zone is 2 1/2 hour away from our house...

A bottle of Moscato costs around $10.

Youre welcome any time.

You shouldn't tempt me.

I might never be able to leave a place that made such a wine.

There would always be the next year's wine to stay for, and last year's wine to drink.
