I Drink Wine

I have traveled through a good portion of the United States, Canada and Mexico. Heck I even flew to Australia. Everywhere I've been I love to stop and sample the local wines. I feel you can meet quite a few "winos" (LOL) that way. There have been many wines that I have grown to adore...many of which come from the Oregon and Washington State areas. There is something about the volcanic soil that rounds out the grapes so beautifully. Often when I'm shopping for wines, I run into novelists that ask for my opinion, and depending on their tastes I tend to steer them towards those wines.

A woman after my own heart - and so suited to my profile name. 😉

There is a small difference though... I haven't a clue when it comes to the finer points of what I'm drinking. I either like it - or I don't like it so much.

This evening, it was good (red from Chile) - apart from the name. It was called "Pour ma Guele". What's that meant to be about..?

@AfternoonWine I find some wines from Chile pleasant. But to be truthful, I really haven't experienced too many of them from South America.

We get quite a few Chilean ones here, and I often like them.

Here is the UK. Apparently we're great wine importers and get wines from all over the place. Maybe that's because our own aren't so common - the climate is a bit cool, I think.

We do get a few North American ones, but, as usual, I'm no expert.
