Josh Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 When it comes to wine, I'm a firm believer in one of the informal rules around here regarding whiskey. If you like it, you like it. Whether it's Foxhorn, $3 Chuck or Boone's Farm.On a similar note, this afternoon I'm enjoying some Remvi White Retsina from INO. Light & fresh, not too spectacular, but very refreshing. And then there's the pine resin finish. :grin: Fun every now and then, but I couldn't drink this on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have no idea what the puck you people are talking about. Maybe b/c I just finished off a bottle of Chateau Grand Traverse Select Semi-dry Riesling (no vintage). On warm days like this, a good Riesling really hits the spot.:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 In honor of the University I grew up less than 3 miles away from, I am having some Indiana wine tonight. That wine being White Select (a semi-dry Cayuga) from...wait for it...Butler Winery!:grin: Ok, so it's named after different Butlers and currently it is run out of Bloomington, but it's Butler nevertheless.All silliness aside, it's very nice and food friendly. Sweet pears, crisp, food and cheese friendly with just the right touch of foxiness. I bought this at their tasting room in Chesterton, near the Indiana Dunes Nat'l Lakeshore while on my way to Chicago a few weekends ago. I asked what grapes when into this wine when I tasted it. The 20-something guy at the tasting bar said, "Hold on, let me call the maker." He picked up the phone, dialed, then when the party on the other end picked up he said, "Mom, what's in the White Select?":lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
