You just need to titrate your intake against onset of Machiafava-Bignami signs and symptoms, take a little break for a while when/if they show up, then hit it again. Also multi-vitamins, for once, are beneficial.

Make me a wine recommendation? I stick to dry reds, haven't really enjoyed the various white wines I have tried over the years, but I'll take a recommendation from you and report back. Sipping wine; not with food...thoughts? Originally Posted by TravelingGentleman

Who wants to share a glass of Contratto 2005 De Miranda Moscato..

Where does one go in Houston to shop for good wine? I spent 3 hours on the road yesterday to hit three grocery stores, two liquor stores and three Specs looking for a particular vintage, and the closest I got was a recommendation that I try the Specs in the Woodlands.

Where is the good stuff?

For the money and a flavor so deep it'll blow your mind if you have any idea what you're doing and even if you don't . I do not know all the wines and the great names and the great flavors but when this baby hits your pallet you know that it's right. This is now my house Wine
