Drink of choice? - Page 8

I will have to see if that is available around here. Sounds good! I can't handle super sweet wines. The blood thing...yea I know it's weird. A friend of mine had some red wine and I gave it a try. I knew I didn't like red, but what the hell I gave it a try. It had a blood taste and ever since I just cannot drink red wine.

Blech, blood...I see your distaste for red wine! Another nice white to try is Ecco Domani, an Italian Pinot Grigio, but try the Gray Monk first if you can. Yipes, I'm starting to sound all "Sideways".

With my career as a divorce lawyer, I know the risks and problems that come from addiction. And yet, it did not stop me from falling in love with someone who was an addict. It makes no sense, and is very frustrating. Many times I feel stupid and like a hypocrite.

Not stupid and not a hypocrite. Have you read "Women Who Love too Much"? It is an excellent book and a very good tool for keeping the focus on yourself.

The Italian may be easiest to find. There are little Italian stores and restaurants on every street corner where I live. And they love there wine! I need to write these down. I won't remember them when I am in the store.

Oooh, lucky you!!! You must have a ton of great resteraunts around too....sooooooo jealous. Mmm, linguine and clams, yum.

Yep, write 'em down, those wines. I keep a wine diary now to keep track of the good ones. Let me know what you think of them and if you need more recommendations!

I love red or white. Just depends what mood I'm in!

Can you eat ketchup? Drink tomato juice? What about cranberry juice?
Mind over matter. Oh well, I guess that leaves more red wine for me. Thanks!

Yes there are little Italian restaurants, too. It's nice, but I haven't really eaten at many of them. THey are all too damn expensive.
I am looking for a pen right now to right them down.
