Another great wine! And it's cheap too!
#26239 - 13/02/05 03:03 PM

Every year for the past 30 years, my wife has taken me out for a nice dinner for Valentine's Day. Tonight was no exception. We went to a lovely place outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania, call The Glasbern Inn. It was, without a doubt one of the best meals I've had in years (pricey, but worth it).

Anyway, with our dry aged filet of beef, we had a most delightful wine. It was a '99 Merlot, from Columbia Winery, Columbia Valley, Washington. It drank like an $80 or $90 retail price bottle, but the wine steward said it sells in the stores for only $20. Tremendous value, if you ask me. Come Monday, when the stores open, I'm going to be looking for a case.

Liebframilch? What's that? When I try to pronounce it, it sounds like I'm throwing up.

Seriously though, I've just never aquired a taste for Germanic wines, except for a few Reisling's. I guess it's kind of like scotch-you either love it, or hate it-there's no middle of the road.

When I told a co-worker that Joan was taking me out for Valentines' Day dinner, she asked what I did to deserve that kind of special treatment. I just told her that it was quite personal, then I just licked my eyebrows.

Liebfraumilch ? Isn`t that slightly alcoholic soda ?
