add some lemon juice in yours
Are you joking or is that a "thing"
That's definitely not a "thing"...
You should do the tasting thing just to get a sense for what you like. The right wine is the one you like, not the one the experts say you should like. You'll never know what that is unless you give them a go.
We have lots of wineries around where I live and one of the most surprising things is how down to earth the winemakers are. Not up themselves at all, they're not wine snobs they just love making wine.

I like that. I really don't buy wines for the reason that there is so much variety,. Prefer to trust other people's suggestions, and give them a try and add it to my list if i like it.
Whites - I know i like SB and Chilean in particular but maybe I need to try a better quality Nz.
Reds- I know i like Chiraz.
I drank too much Rosé one night about 10yrs ago and haven't touched it since. Even the smell of it makes me gag. -

I got given a bottle of Valli PN though and what a difference. Lovely drop.
Got absolutely smashed on that a few years ago at Bardeaux in Queenstown. Great bar introduced to me by @Canerbry about 15 years ago, and a lovely wine, albeit a bit too moorish.

I think that we covered over coming gag reflexes in the sausage thread (actually it might not really be a sausage thread). Drinking more wine may be a solution but who knows?

Overcoming is one word and you know it

Just a typo. I wouldn't do that on purpose.

Not without a quick warning anyway.

Yes. Typo. Moorish is a completely different thing.

A family celebration at an Italian restaurant a few weeks back. We started with a Prosecco, and added a few dollars to the Kirwan family bank account.
Drank some recently. Nice, for what it was -a dry, easy drinking prosecco. Thankfully not too sweet (unlike the prosecco friends brought last night and we tipped)

He said he likes it sharp, lemon juice should do it.

Depends. What if more moors find it hard to stop drinking it? It might make sense then.

Good point, it would be cool if he couldn’t stop eating moors wouldn’t it?

How? I can't get anywhere near them now. Nice with Chianti though.

Bought these in a fine wine auction in Wellington last week. A mixture of various vintages of Peregrine pinot noir (mainly 2007 but one 1999 in there), and their 2008 pinot gris. https://ibb.co/xhvPbsQ

I enjoyed it, and compared favourably with the proseccos I have drank in Italy.

Correct. "Moorish" means looking a bit like Roger Moore.
