Hi George, my nemisis-type fellow! I constantly try new wines and food,
just not on the two traditional days of the year. That's when I play it
safe when I'm cooking. No matter what though, I still hold that wine/beer
with any meal is not acceptable to me. Drinking and eating are separate
activities, imo.
