Are men allowed to drink white wine?

Bruce Rioja · Post by **Bruce Rioja** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 1:26 pm

Can I just use this opportunity to big up Swiss red wines, yes, Swiss? I didn't even know that they grew their own grapes

Me and a mate went to Zermatt for a week last year, drank a different wine every night and found them all to be superb. So, what I did was I bought a randomly selected mixed dozen to bring home, all of which were an absolute joy.

By the looks of things they don't produce enough to export any so it's difficult to get hold of, but well worth it if you can.

I've got to go to Basle on the 13th, so the big case and the bubblewrap's coming with me.

Was that the Alpine walk? how did it go?

Absolutely superb, William. I'd highly recommend it. We landed quite lucky in that we had a week of clear blue skies which, according to the locals is quite unusual. The scenery is just mind blowing and to be walking through snow at 10,000 feet in your shorts and a t-shirt whilst in the shadow of the Matterhorn has provided me with memories that I'll cherish forever.
Also, it's not as expensive as you'd imagine either.

No choice for me. I developed an allergy to red wine 10-12 yrs ago. Realized every time I got food poisoning by some strange coincidence I had also been drinking red wine. So yes I drink white wine. It goes very nice with a tart.

I've heard that there are, but you have to be on the look-out for Adam's apples, big hands, that type of thing!

O.k. for you tart lovers.

I'm open minded me; I've seen pretty much everything the internet has got on offer, but there's no way I'm prepared to risk the wife catching me looking at pictures of ladyboys on the net on a Saturday afternoon if that's all the same to you.

I've only just, this week, got back to walking, after the dark mornings and evenings. I put on 12 lbs over winter, and only just made it up rivington pike today... Alpine walks sound brilliant, but way, way out of my league...

I'm off on Easter week. I'm sure I've told you about my favourite local walk before: Anglezarke - White Coppice - Great Hill - Lead mines Clough. I implore you to join me. If we get a clear day then the views from the top of Great Hill are absolutely stunning.
