They remind me of how beautiful she is, but they don't come close to letting them know what the spirit that she has is. I really liked her quick wit (which I think she needs to keep up with you!) and how down to earth she is. In my opinion, that is the definition of a trophy and you do have one there. FTR, I consider my wife a trophy also as she's been the best thing in my life for almost a quarter of a century.

My wife likes Muscato D'Asti a lot. There's one label that she wants to buy each time we've found it. We went to a tasting at a local shop and ended up buying a couple bottles of an Argentinian Chardonnay that we liked. Not terribly dry and a slight 'oak' taste to it. We've also picked up a bottle of Torrantes that has a pleasant taste, though I don't know how to categorize it. My wife had read of the Nouveau Beaujolais so we picked up on of those also, though reading reviews I have no thoughts that we'll completely enjoy the taste of that. So, there is the limit of my experience. It's kind of fun, but I'll never see us with an extensive 'cellar' Thanks for your input, I may pick your brain a bit more. |
