I'm extremely adventurous when it comes to food as long as I don't see it alive first. I'll name it and then it's all over.
I prefer white wine, my favorite so far is the Riesling put out by Wente. And I love desert wines. My other half is the red wine drinker.
One of the things we loved about living in northern California was spending Saturday afternoons winery hopping.
