White Wines
My
favorite wine is a sweet white wine. I know, sweet or dessert wines aren’t
really wines for the connoisseur but I’m not a connoisseur—just a wine drinker.
J My favorite
wine is a Riesling—guess that comes from that sliver of German in me. But I
also like a good Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay—which aren’t so sweet.
My
husband loves a good Melbeck or Merlot but his absolute favorite is a
Montepulciano D’Abruzzo. Can you tell he’s Italian?
I
wish I could drink red wines, but, like many people I get a headache afterwards
and it’s just not worth it. Some people say it’s the sulfates but sauerkraut
and lunch meats supposedly have sulfates and I don’t get headaches from those
foods. Others say it is the tannins and that makes more sense to me since it
comes from the dark skin of the grape as well as some of the oak barrels the
wine is aged in. Some reds are low in tannins so maybe someday I’ll try an
experiment but if I get a headache, that will be the end of the experiment
because those headaches are debilitating!
So
any wine recommendations for a girl who likes her whites?
