I love red wine. But I am a newbie.

I love a dry and/or spicy taste to my wine.

I should amend this question to reference bottles of wine under or so.

I saw the recipe on something but can’t find it. It consists of beef pot roast with mushrooms and a creamy red wine sauce. 10 points to the first person who posts a good recipe.

…is a silly language isn’t it?

Let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins were not invented in England or french fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose?

If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play, and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as helll one day and cold as hell another?

When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on.

When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it?
to all the people unskilled enough to miss the question: "english is a silly language isn’t it?"

These are like a muscadine. Kind Old Bronze scuppernongs

I’d like to switch from drinking white to red wine. However most of the reds I’ve tried are SO dry, or bitter I havent cared for them. Are there certain types I should be looking for???

My favorite wine is a sav blanc or a reisling, but would like to find a favorite red. Merlot and cab sav are too dry for my taste. Any suggestions before I throw out any more wine?

I’d like to take fruits "Muscadine" to Japan from Atlanta Hrtsfield Airport.
That is regal and I know where should I go and what to do when I got airport in Japan.
But I don’t know where should I go at Atlanta hartsfield airport. Are there plant quarantine station?
Do you know where it is?

Found the balsamic vinegar but not the Fini Red Wine Vinegar THANKS!
thanks, Katrina – the first 2 websites didn’t have any but the third did!

appreciate it!

There’s no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor
pine in pineapple.

Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are
meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find
that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea
pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers
don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth,
why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So one
moose, two meese? One index, two indices?

Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend,
that you comb through the annals of history but not a single annal?

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of
them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn’t preacher praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

If you wrote a letter, perhaps you bote your tongue?

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an
asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at
a play and play at a recital?

Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?

Have noses that run and feet that smell?

Park on driveways and drive on parkways?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man
and a wise guy are opposites?

How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and
quite a few are alike?

How can the weather be hot as Hell one day and cold as Hell another?

How you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are
absent? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown?
Met a sung hero or experienced requited love?

Have you ever run into someone who was dis-combobulated, grunted,
ruly or peccable? And where are all those people who ARE spring
chickens or who would ACTUALLY hurt a fly?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your
house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by
filling out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all).

That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the
lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch,
I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it!

I’m talking about preventative measures here. Both my BF and I like red wine over white, but it always sticks to our teeth. It’s kind of embarrassing in public.

I could use the advice of a medical expert about a vitamin regiment I am considering.

1.1000mg Glucosamine/800mg Chronditin: Joint Health
2.500mg Acetyl-L-Carnite: Heart Health & Anti-Oxidant Effect
3.1000mg HMB: Strength
4.250mg Biotivia Resveratrol: Energy & Other Health Benefits
5.100mg Coenzyme- Q10: Antioxidant
6.500mg Quercitin: Energy & Allergies
7.1500mg D-Ribose: Energy

Is this vitamin regiment reasonable for someone in their 20’s, in excellent physical health, and otherwise very healthy? For a person who exercises 6 days per week and eats a nutritious diet (high fiber, high vegetable, lean protein, lot of water)

Do any of the supplements contradict one another? Also, do you have any recommendations on any vitamins that should be added or removed? If so, what scientific evidence do you have to support your claim?

Thanks!

I already am going to saute onions and garlic but then when I add the red wine it is going to be too thin, so what can I add to thicken it up a little.

This is going over pork/steak.
What about a little bit of flour? I dont have that arrow stuff that you said.

a little bit of cream? what about milk?

I cant run to the store everything is already cooking!

I have vines along our property that has large leaves and stems that look like grapes are growing on. My husband says they’re not, but the green muscadine grape is known to grow wild here, so I thought maybe I’ll ask.

In most of our Jewish feasts we drink red wine but for Tu Bi Shvat we supouse to drink white wine also. I would like to know why. Todáh rabáh!

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."

It’s easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report ?

We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing:
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP .

When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn’t rain for awhile, things dry UP

One could go on and on, but I’ll wrap it UP , for now my time is UP, so……….. Time to shut UP!

PS. – Why doesn’t "Buick" rhyme with "quick"

I opened a bottle of red wine (cabinet) about six months ago and there were about half of bottle remaining so I corked it back into the bottle. Last night I poured some out of the same bottle and it appears that the color of the wine has changed to deep darkish red/brown colour along with lots of particals. What is that and is it safe to drink in that condition. How do I prevent that from happening in the future? Maybe the cork’s mass is not air tight enough caused the wine to degrade? Is there a self life for wine after all?

lets say a 25 ft diameter geodesic dome ( about 12- 15 ft high)
I was thinking muscadine grapevine, or rattan vine. Im dying to hear your creative answers.

I know Resveratrol has several benefits, one of them being it reverses/prevents aging. Am I too young to start taking this? Thanks.

I recently learned of the health benefits of red wine,but I cant order any while out,because I dont want to look foolish and unsophisticated.It also comes in handy washed down with a midol for those really crappy days! .Im sick of buying wine coolers,like that cheap "Boones Farm"or "boxed wine at the liquor store.Its embarrassing!

We have some homemade muscadine wine from a neighbor. It’s a reddish wine. We’re giving it to a friend and get to create a label for it. Got any outrageous or funny names or suggestions for the label?

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?

If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

If Dad is Pop, how come! Mom isn’t Mop?

GO FIGURE! That’s American English.

unlike Sanskrit english made its own rules of pronounciation & Grammar in a different way based on the words derivated from

example CH is pronounced as ka wen the word is derived from greek example
character = karakter
CH is pronounced as sha wen the word is from french
ex champagne,chateau

similarly with singulars & plurals.

i’m supposed to use 1/4 of red wine vinegar, and 3′4 of a cup of red wine.

I was at a New Year’s party and someone bumped into me, spilling a red wine I was drinking onto the cuff of my white button down shirt. Luckily it didn’t get many other places aside from a drop on the front of the shirt.
Immediately after it happened, I got some seltzer water from the bar tender and tried to get as much out as possible but the stain is still noticeable.

Im wondering if anyone can give me a recipe for muscadine jelly?? My vines have lots every year, so I thought Id ask……..Anyone???
