Confession #9: I have a passion for wine.



Don’t mistake me…I am no wine connoisseur. I have been known to whisper to the waiter that I will have the cheapest you have. I have even committed the ultimate blasphemy: buying boxed wine. However, if I was a rich woman (which I am by no means), I would be traveling the world and tasting expensive wine. 
I have always been impartial to white wine. I like the aroma to be sweet, the body to be light, and a little burst of fruit doesn’t hurt. My taste buds aren’t quite sophisticated enough to be an all-out reds fan. I do love a tall glass of Merlot but nothing beats Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio to me. But I will be the first to admit that my experience is lacking (mostly due to an empty wallet). 
To keep this blog short and sweet, I took a quiz to find out what kind of wine I would enjoy the most. 
You should try Verdejo. Verdejo is a Spanish wine that is not as well known as Spain’s other major white wine, Albarino. Verdejo has a nose of nuts and honey and is full-bodied without being too rich, with a nice streak of brightness cutting through it. 
I definitely have to go out and get a bottle of Verdejo now. I will let you all know how it goes :)
If you enjoy wine as much as I do, consider following an amateur wine blog. Here is one that I really enjoy: http://www.amateurwino.com/?p=7.
