Ain't nothin' wrong with Rieslings and Gewurtzraminers. \:\) I've been trying out more Rieslings lately. Either I've been incredibly lucky or I just really like Rieslings - haven't had a bad one yet. There is some awesome & affordable stuff coming out of Germany, too.

Wednesday is my birthday, which my girlfriend will miss as she's out of town. She gets back into town Thursday morning, and we go straight from the airport to the Russian River Valley, where she's booked us a room at some "not too fancy" place. I'm fairly excited. \:\) I need to discover some new wineries up there though. Got any recommendations, Mike?
