José Pariente
Since Jeffro mentioned turning this into a wine blog, I thought I'd tell you about my favorite white wine, Jose Pariente. You can read more about it here. I buy mine at The Curious Grape in Shirlington.
A spanish white wine? Wild! Can't wait to try it. When I think of Spain I think Shiraz and Rioja.
My favorites are King Shag Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand - available at your local Trader Joes (with a fab penguin on the front) for everyday wine. Special wine would be a 2003 Pietro Vernaccia di San Gimignano (a white from a specialized region in Tuscany) available at Total Wine and More in VA.
Like dry whites? - try Sauvingnon Blancs from Marlborough, New Zealand; dry Rieslings from Germany or Austria (watch out for the sweet ones though); and Pinot Grigios from the Veneto region of Italy.

We should join a wine tasting group!
i think i need to be drunk to read this.
Will we see pics of you getting sloshed on wine??
Congrats on yer new job BTW. Really should have taken a longer break. Then you can join me in thailand to waste away the rest of the year
I agree, a longer break would have been much better, and Thailand much more fun than here running around Christmas shopping!
