I have never liked wine.

I have never liked wine.
A connoisseur is not what I would call myself but we do love wine. One of the fun aspects of travel is discovering the wines of a region. We have toured the NAmerican wine regions and most of Europe's but have yet to make it to S America and think at this point not likely to get there. So my point of contact will have to be our local liquor store.We continue to explore new wines, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, south America mainly, in addition to supporting Ontario's growing production.
Liquor store vintages section has a good offering that changes frequently.
Not even a glass of bubbly? You don't know what you're missing.I have never liked wine.
Wine is not just wine. Wine is the whole experience that goes with it: it’s the perfectly matched dish; it’s the mellow blending of taste and scent and mood; its discovering a dusty label steeped in history; it’s a carafe of local table wine available on almost any budget; It’s romantic cafe’s with friends on a perfect summer evening; it’s ancient ruins and Renaissance architecture; it’s ceremoniously pulling out that long cork; it’s a winter meal by candlelight with that certain someone; its old friends and new friends; it’s travel and romantic adventures and new languages and exciting books and falling in love. It’s great music in front of a fireplace. It’s not about snobbery, or it shouldn’t be. Am I over-selling it? Not necessarily.
