>Big wines are about power and pleasure and simple, unabashed hedonism. Made from grapes that are totally ripe, they're wines with big, rich flavors, a generous amount of fruit and relatively high alcohol levels—15 percent and more. They're also precocious; that is, they're ready to drink upon release, although many will benefit from cellaring. A great example of a big, intense wine that has proved to age well is the Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet made by the highly regarded Bob Foley.>
Indeed! I've met Bob Foley and really like Pride wines. And I'm a big fan of Turley's wines, as I thought you were. (One of my best friend's wife used to be the banker for Turley, Pride and numerous others.)
But while I prefer big wines I drink any good balanced vino.
Beer? On a hot day a good pale ale or IPA, otherwise not so much.
