    The best part of drinking wine is in the trying.
    Grapes and years vary so much but overall I have a developing love of all things Italian/Spanish... and red.

    You just zinged that right back, didn't you! I can't blame you for stealing my patter, though, because nobody wants to sound like a heinously perverted danger to women.

    Loads of Rioja, St Emillion and Medoc in my wine racks along with Muscadet, Chablis and Gewurtztraminer for the whites, I have worked in hotels, bars and catering for 30 years now so have been involved with booze professionally, best thing though after a long day is a well chilled bottle of dog.
