Wine: The manly drink

            Our discussion of whether real men drink wine continues to resonate.

            Wine seller Richard Shaffer e-mails the following: “I think being involved with the wine scene is a magnet for the ladies (my team imports boutique wine from Israel, and I'd much rather mention that start-up company of mine than the fact that I broker insurance, too!). With regards to white wine - anyone who thinks Sauvignon Blanc is only for ladies does not get out enough - that's my fave grape - it's versatile and takes on different personalities across the world wherever it grows. Love it - got a manly bite to it often, too.”

            Me: So in a few days wine goes from a drink for wimps to a chick magnet. It’s a miracle.
