It is also personal because I like a sweeter wine but, like you, not heavy and dark. I don't care for the oaky tastes but [refer the more fruity tastes. I lean to whites but there is a French wine called Bougerlais (craps, I can't spell it right) that I like while my hubby prefers the French Yvon Mau.

Usually one drink a night, a second feels like an indulgence.<br /><br />Self-harvested oysters consumed with cold beer sounds like heaven! My own ideal is actually a vodka martini. I can't say I care for the drink in any other context but with oysters, it's perfect.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-14135877945418178082019-09-14T08:20:11.806-04:002019-09-14T08:20:11.806-04:00That is most responsible of you.

My friend found a pale pink wine Miraval Provence that is great to sit in the evening on the patio with a chefs board. <br />parsnip<br /><br /><br /><br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-86248675201131618572019-09-10T16:17:03.034-04:002019-09-10T16:17:03.034-04:00I started with whites (in my late 30s!), but I don...I started with whites (in my late 30s!), but I don't care for them much anymore.<br />My favorite red (right now, at least, and for a while) is Apothic Inferno.

Like you, I like hoppy beers and whisky (along with bourbon). I use wine more in drinking and I can't image wine with oysters--that's always a beer thing probably because the oyster houses I've been in are that kind of place. And beside, as one who grew up on the coast and harvested many of the oysters he's eaten, a cold beer is always good after such a workout.
