Chit chat, anyone?

Loopyseven · May 2012

I don't know much about white wines, or sweet wines for that matter. I know a sweeter red would be a Pinot Noir. White Zinfandel's are really sweet (to me) blush. I think a Riesling is a sweeter white.

Chardonnay is a drier white - but it's a popular wine so a lot of people serve it.

[QUOTE]I have no clue Loopy. I think they have both been white. We have a winery right down the road so I should go and try it out and do a tasting. I tend to drink fruitier alcoholic drinks and the wine I've tasted has just seemed bitter.

<div>I bet if you did this and told them you prefer fruitier drinks they could recommend some. I tend to drink frutier drinks myself and I've found wines I like. I will say white wine is not my favorite. </div>

Loopyseven · May 2012

I have yet to find a white wine that I like. I'm a dry red girl.

kellyjellybelly · May 2012

i effing love wine. I actually thought I might be KU while we were in Napa and I had a mild panic attack that I wouldn't be able to try all the wine.

PetalPockets2012 · May 2012

Ok, so I will definitely go to the winery. Maybe FI and I can go this summer.

ArynBaker · May 2012

I do like Riesling but I can barely get a glass of Chardonnay down. I've stopped experimenting with the white wines and am sticking to red and bush wines.

Hey kids! I'm about to head off to bed, but I wanted to drop in.

I have laryngitis and haven't been able to talk above a whisper today. Awesome. I don't know how that will work tomorrow when I'm in clinic. If I can't talk, I can't work.

Loopyseven · May 2012

Ha KJB - yeah - Napa is not the place to baby-moon.

Petal - some of the wineries near Cleveland have outdoor areas and live music sometimes so you can try wines, buy a cheese/fruit platter and sit outside and enjoy an evening.

MyUserName1 · May 2012

Have you tried a Moscato, Petal? It's a very sweet, usually sparkling, dessert wine. Trader Joes has one in a fancy looking bottle for like 7 dollars, called Villa Alena Moscato D'Asti

ArynBaker · May 2012

Loopy, that sounds awesome! There's a park here that hosts free concerts every Sunday over the summer. We walk there with a picnic and enjoy the show. It would be so much better if there were fruit platters and wine tasting.

mica178 · May 2012

Try an Alsace white, crisp but sweet. Or a gewurztraminer.

musicalsunlight · May 2012

Oh no, that sucks mica! I hope your voice improves overnight. Laryngitis is the pits.

Loopyseven · May 2012

Bummer Mica. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

VeggieLove1022 · May 2012

Sorry you're not feeling well, Mica.

PetalPockets2012 · May 2012

Thanks everyone. I just copied everything down so I can remember what to try. You might make me a wino in time.

mica178 · May 2012

I actually feel fine. Just my throat hurts and I can't talk. But there's no fever or anything else. It's annoying as eff.

mica178 · May 2012

Also, my parents came to visit today. It's hard having whole conversations when the only way I can talk is to whisper.

SoundersChick · May 2012

White Zin used to be my favorite. I always had a bottle of it. Now my favorite is a local winery's Trutina blend. http://www.dunhamcellars.com/08Trutina

mica178 · May 2012

Okay, I need to try to sleep off this stupid virus. Good night, all!

SoundersChick · May 2012

I hope you get your voice back soon Mica!

Loopyseven · May 2012

I've had that before Mica. Where I felt absolutely fine, I just couldn't talk. I usually showed good improvement the next day.

Loopyseven · May 2012

jI've always heard it pronounced - guh-vert-stra-mee-ner. It's a German varietal I think.

musicalsunlight · May 2012

I want to know a lot about wine just so I can have the knowledge, even though I will probably never be a regular wine drinker.

SoundersChick · May 2012

A friend of mine just posted on FB that her 2 day old daughter is "lactose and tolerant". I really want to correct it but I don't want to come off as a biiitch.

musicalsunlight · May 2012

LOL, that made me giggle, C. You could maybe make a joke about it to seem less snarky. Bahah that is pretty funny though.

</div><div>At 2 days old.. where's her daughter getting lactose from? I didn't think formula had it, and doesn't it take breastmilk a few days to come in usually?

</div><div>ETA: these are things I should probably learn LOL :)</div>

SoundersChick · May 2012

She was in the nicu because she was born with a cleft lip and palate and they gave her regular formula.

Loopyseven · May 2012

Got it. That makes more sense then.

Nickivegan · May 2012

I got a fun red wine the other day, it was a rough day with my kids. It was called sweet biiitch. And it was very fruity. Almost like a Sangria. I wasnt impressed, as it's not what I was expecting. I bought it because the name of it was the exact mood I was in. But now that I know it's sweet, I have it for dessert. Long story, but you should try it if you can find it as it's sweet.
