I want to know what is the real driving force behind someone drinking only red wine. I am serious.

WW has told me just doesn't get anything out of white the way he does with red. I can understand that concept, so long as the wines are consumed without food. But when food is involved, there simply are many pairings with wine that just do not taste right if the wine is not the right color and/or texture.

For instance, the way I like trout prepared--simply either broil or saute, lemon and butter, maybe some nuts sprinkled atop, but not much else--doesn't scream out to me the words red wine, and if it did, there are so few reds that I think would do the pairing justice, but there are a number of solid whites to get the job done.

I think you guys are just being macho. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
