If you like Pinot Grigio, try Viognier.

Viognier's a good choice or a Sauvignon blanc or one of the drier Reislings.

Flea, I'd try a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc. They've been my go to for the last couple of years. I dislike oak and dislike sweet in my whites, and the NZ SVs are a wee bit grassy and taste like bright pears. Good luck!

Gruner Veltliner! I guess I like to drink it, but mostly I like to say it.

Good luck moving askye!!! Good luck moving your father, Jilli!! Moving is the absolute worst.

My weekend plans are minimal -- some leaf-sweeping, dad, housework, nothing special.

New Zealand Sauvignon blanc.

The only sauvignon blancs I like are from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. I know that's oddly specific, but sauvignon blancs from anywhere else are too grassy for my palate.

Human variation: WEIRD.

Jesus, something is happening in Paris.

I eventually escaped the hell of Cox & Kings, my god. I waited forever, but once I actually got to the counter, my visa paperwork was all in order and it took about two minutes. PROPER PREPARATION, WOO. I should get my passport back in 5-7 business days.

I stopped at the grocery store and will be putting beef in a crock pot to roast the rest of the day.

Edit re Paris: Holy shit!

Sauvignon blancs have become my go to white. Chardonnays are hit and miss - the ones I like I really like, but the others I really don't. (Pouilly-Fuisse, btw, is chardonnay. They vary A LOT but determining which are the ones you like requires trying maybe too many of the ones you don't ime)

Oh, I can consult my wine database. White wines that I have noted as "look for more": verdelho (although my notes mention that it is a "perfect summer white"), sauvignon blanc, chardonnay. I think I liked the albarino also, but I haven't actually opened the bottle I bought, just tried it at the co-op, and another bottle I opened recently that I bought that day I didn't even want to drink, so my judgement on that occasion is suspect. I have a roussanne marked as "too sweet" but I don't know if that's all roussannes - the label called it "the sauvignon blanc of chardonnays" fwtw.

I like my whites not very sweet at all and there's a particular taste that I have not been able to describe other than I really dislike it.

I'm glad I can drink reds because I generally like them much better.

Oh no, Paris!

Congrats, shrift!

Shootings in Paris seem unbelievable. I'm finding myself echoing shrift with her Holy Shit!

White wines for winter: I like dry reislings, Alsatian in particular can be very yum. But I also like chardonnay, so my taste may not mesh with yours.
