A silly question...and my last for the night :-)

[Randy Caparoso]

Supervirgo, you mentioned Pinot Noir in another entry, which always gets my vote for world's sexiest wine. Now, I haven't been single for 23 years, but I've sure gotten myself nearly in trouble over the years serving Pinot Noir to women. I remember six years ago doing a five winemaker Pinot Noir tasting and dinner in my restaurant, and I actually saw women (married and single) throwing phone numbers around half way through the night. I'm not Dr. Ruth, but I think it's the silky, lacy texture, and perfumey spice, of the wine that does it. It's a wine that addresses itself to all the senses -- aromatic and tactile -- and is both dense and light at the same time.

By the way -- about 65 degrees Farenheit is around the perfect temperature. This means about 45 minutes in the fridge. And on a warm day, there's nothing wrong with an occasional ice cube to keep things chilled down. The heat should be in the eyes and other parts of the body, not in the glass!
