Matching wines?

[Jackie]

Winoweenie,

Yes, I agree it would be better if everyone would provide their location -- at least a state. It looks to me like our friend IICA did take my advice and added MASS to the profile....so we know in which state IICA buys wine. I don't recall seeing this when I posted my last message on this thread.

I can check to see if our bulletin board software program can require an address to be entered at registration. But right now it is voluntary. Since it is voluntary, at least for now, I think we should welcome newcomers who may be shy about signing up on a wineboard for the first time.

Privacy is a very real and important issue on the net and I can understand why folks are initally relunctant to provide personal information. Let's not be too harsh. My observation is that once newcomers see that this is a friendly place to be, most are willing to modify their profiles and add more information. For some people, this is the first online board they've ever used. They may wonder if they'll be bombarded with junk e-mail etc, etc (which we NEVER do).

BTW, do you think that IICA has selected the right varietals for the above courses? I wonder about the white burgundy and Chianti, followed by Merlot. But I am not as much of an expert as you'all.
