Tonight I'm drinking a 2007 Ripasso, nothing fancy but a nice full body red, which is what I enjoy on a chilly winter evening. My taste in wine varies with my mood and the day, on cold winter nights I really enjoy a hearty red to warm the body, some of my favorites would be a nice Barolo or an Amarone (hence the Ripasso when I'm going solo - no need to spend that when I am not drinking a full bottle). On a warm day I prefer something lighter in reds maybe a Pinot Noir and in whites maybe a Gruner Veltliner or a Reisling.[/quote:243b17b6]
Kyra, your extensive knowledge of wine is turning me on.
