A compliment from a friend of mine...

[wondersofwine]

One of my church friends has been supportive of the winetastings I've held in my home or the parish hall to raise money for the church. She and her husband are not big wine drinkers but have visited some wineries on Long Island where they have relatives. She told me that thanks to the education I've given them on wines, she was able with confidence to ask a restaurant if they had a late harvest riesling for a dessert wine (they did). She tends to prefer sweet wines or mild, fruity wines. Another friend from church liked the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc we tasted in October (only $10.99) so I picked up one for her on my most recent trip to Raleigh. Her mother liked the other dessert wine we had, the Quady Essencia from the Orange Blossom Muscat in a half-bottle. I will try to pick up a bottle for her next time I'm in Raleigh.
