As I mentioned in an earlier post, I recently spent some time in Michigan's wine country. While it's no Napa, it has a charm that is unique to Michigan and it produces some pretty kick as white's. While at the tastings, I was pleasantly surprised by the relaxed nature of the staff and the wine enthusiasts they were pouring for.

I was expecting more of the "snobs" that are often associated with wine enthusiasm. Thankfully, they were absent.

Have any of you ever experienced such wine/beer snobs before? Are you a wine/beer snob? If you've ever used the term "sweaty saddle" to describe a leathery like scent in a wine, the answer is "yes".

My favorite beer of late is Hitachino Nest White Ale

Damned good.

I really enjoyed the Sex "Brut Rose" from L. Mawby that I had on our wine tour. Who says a pink wine can't kick ass? Rose's can be so awful but when they are good....!

So what's your poison these days?
