Old Crones & Snapping Turtles

[cmcoins2000]

Without Predudice:

It seems there is a need for an independent 'as titled' thread.

Can we share, say what we would like to say, think what we want to think, even be nice to each other (optional)

(Without religion or politics) (please)(pretty please).

Think I come under the Old Crone bit.

Hey Helen,  it's midnight there - don't you have a pumpkin to catch?

I've been had at work at the cauldron today making huge batches of casserole and spag bol to freeze for the parents of grandbaby #2

Is it wine o'clock yet?

It is wine o'clock for me, the good thing about Nz is it comes earlier :

can someone tell me what is a good wine - not too expensive, but not vinegar either.

I don't know anything about wine - red or white - have been a Southern Comfort man all my life plus the odd licquer. 

I have tried a few wines in the past but always found them too 'tart' for my taste. Is that the right word? I have a sweet tooth and so does her-indoors. We have gone through a few 'orgasms' in our time - cointrou and bayleys, but never tried much wine. I thought this would be a good time to start.

If you like sweet try - Brown Brothers Orange Muscat & Flora white wine.

Or any late harvest riesling.

Mr. Rabbit, I can't tell you anything about wine as I don't drink it.  Not sure why, but even what is described as the sweetest of wines taste kind of bitter to me.

Having said that, I do cook with it quite a bit xx

Go for a red with a high percentage of merlot. This gives a fruity taste that is sweeter. Aussie merlots are quite "plummy".

For whites try what can be termed dessert wines. They are sweet.
