No question who buys (and drinks) most wine

Read the most recent post from the blog Good Wine Under $20 and it was a subject -- the gender inbalance of the wine-buying public -- that you probably can relate to. So many couple we'll go out with where the female will almost always order wine and the male will do so only occasionally. Definitely, being a male whose favorite refreshment is wine puts me in the minority. At least I think so. What do you think?

As for nationally known blogger Deb Harkness, who writes out of the West Coast, here's what she thinks.

This IS a blog on regional wineries, after all, so I try to steer away from other wines in other parts of the country or world. But I do make exceptions for the right story. Deb Harkness, whoose daily smatterings of info, wisdom and wit make Good Wine Under $20 one of my favorite blogs on wine, posted yesterday on a Romanian wine made with Fetească Neagră grapes. As Deb is wont to do, she dived into some resource books and provided some history on the country, its wine making, and those particular grapes, and then added her comments on the wine itself. A good read, one worth sharing.
