Growing up in a French Canadian household, it was perfectly acceptable to pour "the children" a splash of whatever wine was being served (dilted with a hefty spash of water). Quite honestly, I have no idea what my first wine was.

Wine pairing with the epic-ly-wonderful tasting menu at John Besh's Restaurant August - it was the first time I truly realized how much the taste of wine is influenced by food, and how much the taste of food is influenced by the wine that is served.

Waupoos Winery White Rabbit 2011 - it's my go-to summer-sipper!
