I was never really taken with the whole wine thing. It could have been that my entire college wine intake consisted of Night-Train, Cisco, and Mad Dog.
Yearly trips to the Epcot F&W Fest have helped. I know I don't tend to like most of the red wines including merlot, and a lot of those cabernets. I do however like the german style white wines like rieslings and gewurztraminers, as well as the sweeter dessert wines made from muscat grapes and stuff like ice wine. Not a big fan of white zinfandel, yet I kinda like the red.
I'm slowly boadening my wine horizons, but it's just not the same as cracking open a good craft brew, eating pizza, and watching a flick. It's the simple things that keep me going ...
I was on a quick trip to San Francisco a few years back and I went on a wine tour for the day. I decided to try to taste wine again and see if my tastes have changed. I am not a wine drinker, tried it and did not like most that I had tasted.
I tried again on this tour and still didn't like it. And I tried every single little wine taste cup in each of the 3 wineries we visited. I felt very sorry for the owners who were looking to find wonderful looks on this wine tour tasting. I didn't buy a single thing!

I'm still a diner and wine cooler chick - cheap date, I guess!

Now, the pictures I took of the wineries still take my breath away! It was the favorite part of my trip. When everyone else was buying stuff, I was wondering outside setting up shots of a photographic kind.
