History of Riesling

[winoweenie]

Foodie, I haven`t ignored your question. I figured that you mite figure it out by my postings. It isn`t that I don`t like white wine. It boils down to the fact that the Umami a great red supplies makes drinking white wine as exciting as kissing your sister ( my sister , his sister , etc. ). As long as I can drink a red , there is really no reason to delve into whites. If a particular dish would be better suited to a white of no real excitement to me , but CAN be enjoyed slightly less with an exciting, IMHO, red that can be the focus of the meal, the food becomes secondary. I have drank many thousands of bottles of whites over the years and have had many that offered great pleasure at the time. I now prefer to place food seconday to wine in my over-all enjoyment of a meal. Yea, Verily, Randy , I`ve been around a long time, drank much, eats lots, and enjoy every minute, and don`t take myself or very few other things too seriously. Winoweenie
