Wonders of Wine and Food

 Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Man it doesn't show signs of stopping

And I brought me some wine for drinking

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow! Let it snow!

Yes the season is changing. Another winter approaches. I was a little surprised to learn that wine writers actually write articles about which wines are best on a snowy evening.

The number one selection seems to be Cabernet Sauvignon. It is one of the world's most recognized varieties, a red wine known for its full body.

Another full-bodied wine appreciated by everyone is Merlot. Never underestimate a good Merlot.

For those who prefer a medium-body wine, go with a Pinot Noir.

A blended wine is also a good idea. Like a Merlot /Cabernet Savignon. I like to go with a port or port-style wine.I could actually go for a glass (or two) of Port right now with some rum pudding!
