SuperXO,
Wow, thats awesome.
I never have been to Ireland, but I'd love to go someday. I think it would be loads of fun and a great time. You'll have to tell us how the Guiness fares there and just the Irish in general. I love your French story
LOL No, I've never had Shiraz. I'll have to try it sometime. I know what you mean about wine. I usually have the cheap stuff but you really cant tell. I mean I have Paul Masson, Gossamer Bay, or Almaden. Sometimes my Dad is pretty cool and works his base discount and gets a fountain box of Almaden.
I have this chilean bottle of wine thats 91, Conche y Toro(merlot) and I havent opened it. Maybe I'll do it for Thanksgiving or or something. I've never been to Napa or gone to any of the wineries there but I'd love to someday.

I am planning a trip to Ireland this summer! Short notice, but if it works out, I will be drinking Guiness in an authentic Irish pub! How awesome is that? Have you ever been there or desire to go?
Gerwurtraminer is a German wine, I guess, but mostly I have had ones that came out of Napa. I would also really like to plan a little weekend getaway to Napa in the fall, right around harvest time. I am so close, but have not been! Gerwurt. is kinda light, easy to take. not as dry as Chardonnay. Maybe too sweet for some? Chile does have great wine! I have recently had Cabernet and Chardonnay (I think?) from there, and they were both quite nice! My fave wine memory was when I went to France when I was 20 and smuggled a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau back to California. I was sooo nervous at Customs, but they didn't even question me!
Also, I hear Australia has great Shiraz. Have you tried that? I just recently did...got a $10 bottle from the grocery store. That's what I like about wine. You can get the cheap kind and it still tastes good, before you invest in the more expensive bottles!
