White zin & similar

[Sonflower]

Excellent. A thousand thank you's.

I guess in my own words - I'm just a simple girl, forgive me - white zin is like Wal-mart. Started out ok in small doses but (to make the almighty dollar) mass produced, one could say even exploited, lost its appeal.

Time to raise my standards. I hope Pinot Noir is not too shabby. At least it's a step in the right direction.

Is there a quick reference wine grade or a scale for simple people like me? I could invent one. "Hick-girl's guide to classifying & drinking wine" - for when she hits her mid-forties & the epiphany hits.

Thank you again. I needed the wake up call.
