Book List I have found a new (to me) wine that I am dearly in love with. It's a French wine called Beaujolais-Villages. It's a red burgandy table wine and it's absolutely fabulous. I may have to keep some of this around all the time. I was suggested this wine as a starter into the French reds and am so glad I took the person up on it (and also that it was available in this Goddess Forsaken Town!) tattodnanny I think you would like this one, it's dry and not so tannic. Very harmonious. Since I don't have much to talk about (and since I have drank half a bottle of wine) I'm gonna steal the book list I've read on a couple other diaries. Take this list of books. Bold the title of each one you've read, then add three of your own favourites at the bottom. (Note: I have NO appreciable HTML skills and don't know how to bold the titles.
