Catholic Wine Lovers

I love to drink wine every now and then. I never drink more than a few sips though. Probably the best wine I ever tasted was persimmon flavored wine.

I have been busy for awhile, and just finished some college stuff, so I have some free time. What's new in the world of wine?

This is basically what's coming up in my area. It is in fact a fundraiser for my church's school. It's called "Sip" or "McMinnville Wine and Food Classic." http://www.macwfc.org/index.html

I'll drink to that too, JRPO. Reminds me of a quote. St. Thomas Aquinas was once quoted as saying that "Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath, and a glass of good wine."

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine...
And those who don't and are always
Seen with a bottle of water in their hand.

As Ben Franklin said:
In wine there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials,
Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink
1 litre of water each day,
At the end of the year we would have absorbed
More than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria
Found in feces.
In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop..

However,
We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer
(or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)
Because alcohol has to go through a purification process
Of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health.
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
Than to drink water and be full of .............Poop

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:
I'm doing it as a public service!




I'll drink to that! Hic!

JRPO, that was cool. I am not surprised the Riesling is sold out already. Great story.

Thank you JD 799.
Practice makes perfect, so we enjoy wine each day.

Broxson, I know some Catholic wine makers in my area, but I haven't heard of any associations or clubs for Catholic Wineries and the like. If you find or hear of any, let us know. I'm quite curious if there are any around.

dawid, that's really cool. I like beer too, but wine is obviously my favorite. I checked out the website, and it was fascinating. I'm glad it was a success.
