    Okay PALS, I was kinda joking originally when I said we should have a wine club, but it seems there are a lot of wine drinkers on here (yeah)! I still relatively new to MFP, so I have no idea how to form a group and frankly have no idea what we would discuss other than our love of wine and food...(well, that's not such a bad idea I guess)

    So, where do we go from here?

    Okay, I'm bumping this to find out if you all are really interested in a group and how do we go about putting one together
    ??????????

    Cheers, Kelly

    Please add me if you do!

    For those of you interested in learning more about wines, there is a national organization called the American Wine Society. It is a non profit group whose focus is on the wine consumer. There are chapters throughout the US that meet monthly to taste wines.

    All are welcome from complete novices to professional winos. :-) You can Google the website or message me.

    There is a membership fee but other than that nothing is for sale.

    If it has a barcode and you have the MFP app on your phone, scan it. Otherwise search the database, google it, or look at the brandmaker's website.

    Although beware of the barcode! One obscure red wine I bought scanned as "Heinz salad cream." WTF?

    funny you should say that, the same thing happed to me but it was a different food... I was quite discouraged... LOL

    Moscato is often the lowest calorie wine. Some have only 4% alcohol. If you like a drier white some of the Rhine Rieslings fall under 8% (less alcohol, fewer calories). I haven't found a red I like yet. There are some Lambrusco-types (Stella Rossa, etc.) that are sweet and spritzy but I'm looking for the low calorie meaty Bordeaux.

    I have not found a red wine as of yet I like as well that is not too high in calories, I have been doing low carb. I found that Gallo white Zinfandel is no carb so I try to stick with that for the most part. Would love to find others that are low cal and low carb but I cant stomach very dry wine...

    I WANT this glass!!! love it!

    I have a wine tasting glass from a local cellar that they give you with your tasting. It's only about 4 oz but looks just like a regular glass, just in minature. I fill it to the brim and enjoy without guilt- fill to the brim in some of my other glasses is half the bottle lol
