Oh really? Well that is why I recommend everyone name a designated discard drinker. I have one whose taste in wine is the opposite of mine. And though yours and mine are not opposites, we have yet to agree on the best Niagara. Feel free to send your discards my way.

Am I really the only wine drinker here? Or just the only one carefree enough to admit it? Or do ya'll drink Italian wines? California wines? Make your own?

No, I drink more than my fair share of wine! Unfortunately, my palate doesn't match my wallet so I can't buy local as often as I'd like.

Kat Knapp White
A sweet and non-threatening Niagara from Seneca/Cayuga area.
It's pretty much like a mild-white grape juice.
7/10
