    This is great, I’m totally going to save this and use it when I go wine shopping :)

    Cool stuff, I’m totally clueless about wines so this should come in handy. Thanks… I’m bookmarking this.

    Cabernet Sauvignon
    Zinfandel
    Merlot
    Sangiovese
    Cannabis

    Only one of these lacks the ability to make you violent, destroy your liver and kill you. Alcohol consumers deserve the right to switch to the safest recreational drug in the world – cannabis. Don’t vote for any candidate not willing to legalize adult cannabis sales!

      I totally understand your concern as a former pothead myself (though for financial reasons, I have recently quit, and I have not had a drop of alcohol in months). However, this is a post for wine, not a post for alcoholics. Time and place for everything my stoner friend :)

    so i dont know much about wine. Would somebody be able to explain why drinking dry tasting wine would be pleasant? Like wouldn’t a fruity wine taste better? -Definitely don’t anything about wine but would like too. Thanks

      It’s personal preference just like how some people like to drink coffee black or whiskey straight. Also it’s an acquired taste for dryer wine.

  • Jackpile

    Just discovered this. It’s fabulous! Thanks!
