Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.
Ernest Hemingway
Death in the Afternoon
The virtue of the grape (and chocolate, but that is another post) is often extolled by writers. This got me to wondering, what is your favorite wine and why? For me, there is no competition for sparkling wine. Napoleon said it best, "Champagne! In victory, one deserves it; in defeat one needs it.” Although, a close second is red wine - any kind will do. Oh, but let us not forget our good friend white wine. About a year ago I learned that Pinot Grigio left in the freezer makes an amazing wine slushy. But, I digress.

So, please share your favorite wine or wine story with me.
