Give me a good Syrah, Shiraz, or Cab anyday - something hearty.

What about the wine that goes well with any meal?

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

C'mon, a good rose is refreshing and goes better with bbw and burgers and pizza than even a hearty shiraz or zin! Pic St. loup or Spain or even USA.... and for less than $30 per bottle, too.

Wow. I really read that one wrong.

Just remember: "Friends don't let friends drink White Zinfandel."

I agree with you David. A good dry rose is a great summer drink. An inexpensive one is La Vieille Ferme available currently at QFC for around $8. But I do agree "Friends do not let friends drink White Zinfandel" That stuff is terrible not the same as a good dry Rose.
