I want it both ways and I want it now!

I LOVED Spanish reds. The name of my favorite escapes me.

My ex-fiancee turned me on to Spanish reds, specifically Marques de Caceres. It's very nice, very tasty, even non-wine drinkers tend to like it, it goes with most foods, and it's only $12 a bottle or so at the grocery store. AND, the Marques de Caceres Gran Reserva, at $24 a bottle, is absolutely amazing, too! Those two wines were directly responsible for me switching from being a mostly white wine drinker to being a mostly red wine drinker, and not just Spanish reds, either.

Whatever you want, Agnes Skinner.

Are you going to switch personalities and want to box Joe Louis and whatnot?

Sweet.
There's a Simpsons quote for every occasion, I think.

SC - That's not true! You don't know wine! My wife knows about wine, and she told me to get a sweet dry red!

The first thing that came into my head was that his wife was having a little fun at his expense by sending him out on a wild goose chase.

One man's "sweet dry red" is another man's "left-handed hammer."

Hey, sweet stuff like that goes great with warm, fresh Krispy Kremes!

Wine and donuts . . . I resemble that

But then, a well chilled glass of Franzia Chardonnay goes well with anything in my book.

If you are a teetotaler, wine rules won't apply to you, as you won't be drinking wine.

As far as "wine rules" as such, the more snooty bunch deems that whites go with fish, reds go with steak, etc....but frankly, if you ask me and anyone who doesn't give a hoot about "proper wine etiquette", the only real wine rule that matters is drink what you enjoy! Sure, a light white wine will be buried by spicy meat, but you might not enjoy the kind of wine that would stand up to it. Also, since I like my fish blackened, and thus spicey, I often drink a full-bodied red with my fish. Screw the purists and their silly rules. Drink what you enjoy!
