I think that is a very good post -- drink what you enjoy and enjoy the experience. For example, I really am not a big fan of white wines so I usually order red, even with seafood or fish. Gasp! I am sure certain sommeliers and some wine geeks look at that with disdain. Too bad. I like reds and I am going to drink what I like.

The one white I do like is Riesling, but definitely on the dry side (not as a dessert wine).

As for the sauterne discussion -- I had the privilege of sharing a bottle of a D'Yquem from the early 80s. Easily the best dessert wine, actually the best wine period, that I have had. It just melted in my mouth.

And to take it on topic -- I have found a few really good bargains lately. One of them is Italian Red -- Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre. If you can get that for the price that I have been able to get lately ($13 for the 2001 vintage), definitely worth checking out.
