All Abooot WiNE!
Lately I have not had much money so my pot and beer stash has been depleted. At my old house though there is still tons of wine, since my parents enjoy it quite often. I am no aficionado considering I cant even stand red wine alone and have to mix it with something else. My question is:
What do you know about White vs Red wines? I would like to try some nicer wines and some more whites. My library of wine consists almost entirely of reds, and cheap ones at that.

Sadly thats how I feel. If I could taste test a 1850 wine and a 6 $ ****bottle I couldnt tell the difference.

I do like red wine. I just couldn't give a toss what it is. It's like if i end up getting it in a restaurant, whoever im with might wanna try it first or might ask the waiter about the different ones but im just wanting him to hurry up and give me the bottle so i can drink it.

I know my way around a box of Franzia
No, but this is what I've found... red wine is heavier and more acidic. White wine tends to be more fruit based (hints of pears, apples, stuff like that) while red has a different palate (leather, earthy, etc) but that's not universally true by any stretch. White wine is good in its own right - Chardonnay with seafood pasta works very well - although most people prefer red. My favorite wines are Zin (Zinfandel, a heavy /rich / acidic monster, and they are great with steak so it's sort of a MAN wine) and Port (a dessert wine served in a small glass, meant for sipping, high alcohol content and great with chocolate - ohh, sexy). I live in Northern California so if you have any wine questions I'll try to conjure what I've learned from living in Wine Country. EDIT: Good white wines- Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio. I'm not a wine snob, not very picky at all, but I know for sure the best white wine I've tasted was a 2008 La Crema Chardonnay. It's a bit pricey ($30+ category) but well worth it.
