When I wss a kid we went to visit my dad's sister in California. She served wine with meals. The wine she chose was dry and we kids were allowed a little.
Cannot say I cared for the taste. For those who wish to learn the world of wine is fascinating even if you are not a wine drinker.
By the way never drink wine from a plastic cup. Plastic changes the taste. When you think about it, plastic changes the taste of most everything.
I discovered Fu-ki a few years ago. Japanese plum wine. That is fantastic stuff. About 12.00 a bottle. It will kick your butt however. I wanted to try sake and saw the Fu-ki and took a chance on a bottle.
What beach do you go to?
