Legal drinking age is 21 in almost all states. It used to be 18, but it's been 21 for about 20 years now?

I know that, in New York, it went from 18 to 19 in early December of 1982, nine days after I turned 18 and with no grandfather clause. That was fun.

And then, when I was 19, the drinking age in New York went from 19 to 21, again with no grandfather clause.

It's all making sense now. I thought that was a really weird rule about needing to be over 21 to book a timeshare; so you are not considered adult until 21?

Which makes you my younger sister's age and probably born in October as well.

No, you're still considered an adult over 18. It's really only drinking where legally you need to be over 21. The companies are the ones that are deciding that you need to be over 21 to rent a car or a timeshare or whatever.

So, just because I drink white zin I'm low class? I don't like full bodied wines because thay are way too dry for me. I like the sweet stuff. I really like lambrusco so that probably moves me down another notch.

Not much of a drinker that's why I like White Zin. Feel like a grown up. (Oh, yes at my age I really should be a grown up.)

Once upon a time, the zin crop was not as big as it had been and the winemaker pulled out some of the juice to give a higher skin to juice contact making the wine bigger. Now he was left with all that juice. He fermented it, bottled it and sold it. And people liked it, so he and other wineries made and sold it.

Bottom line-drink what you like.

And for me, I can't find a blush or Rose that I do like, even what is supposed to be the 'better wines'. I like big thick wines. If I don't get purple teeth, I am not happy with the wine.

Recently I was out to dinner with a friend and she recommended a wine which tasted a bit like champagne (was also sparkling), so once I find out the name of that, I'll bring a bottle of that.

Maybe it was a Prosecco? It's a dry Italian sparkling white wine. It's what they use for Bellini's, but I love it solo chilled in the summer.

You can find it in all price ranges.

Muscate is nice and has a sweet sparkle to to.

I bet you're right! Like Pinot Grigio, it starts with a P, ends with an O, and it's Italian...

Hmmm - given that info it might have been Prosciutto.

If your prosciutto is bubbling, it's probably time to toss it...

Maria...you were right! It was a Preseco. I'm so wine challenged...lol... (But I do know, at least, that you don't drink prosciutto!)

Thanks everyone!
