There are tons of wonderful German rieslings - if you want to explore more, just come to the DC area and we'll have a tasting.

I know you are no snob and I was not at all refering to trolls quaffing the Wild Irish. Hell, I did that once myself! (emphasis on the words 'quaffing' and 'once'. I was sick for days.) I love rieslings from the spatlese on up to the trochenbeerenauslesers and have had the priviledge of sampling an eiswein or two. The dessert wines of Europe are wonderful! I think you and I have sipped a port or two over the years as well. I think too many people do turn their noses up at 'sweet' wines. C'est la vie. That leaves more for you and me, no? Your Pal, Sandman (or perhaps Sandeman...) Dear John,

Lest I be misunderstood let me state for the record: I'm no snob! Let's be clear on this: I dearly love sweet wines - just not the kind that can be used as a substitute for rocket fuel. Oh, and I have been known to sip a little fruit of the vine under a bridge or two.

H'yuk. This blog clearly defines the line between wine fan and wine snob. The line might be a half mile wide but I digress. I am with you on #1. You know me - Reds Rule! Maybe this will get me eating more seafood. I'm with the Pitt Fan on #5. That will get printed and used as a guide. And who else but you would take on #3? That, I can't wait to see! S. Cookie, your snobbery knows no bounds!
