Welcome to SR! As a former wine lover, I had to let go the romanticism I seemed to find around wine. I loved to collect various wines, and would pair them with different meals, or occasions. The problem was I was pairing a bottle or two nightly with whatever happened to be for dinner. Although I cooked for my kids, my dinner would often be a Lean Cuisine frozen pizza. I do not ever remember seeing this paired with any of my fancy, or not so fancy wines!
I ended up giving away several bottles as Christmas gifts. I have not given away my wrought iron wine rack, I love that darn thing, just thinking about storing my pelligrino and sparkling waters in it now!!
Life does go on without wine, although I haven't quite managed to eliminate my occasional whining about whatever may be bugging me at the present moment. I guess I will just have to settle for progress, and not perfection!!
Keep reading and posting on here, hopefully you will eventually drop the "un" part of your username.
