Howdy all!

It fun to listen/read what people enjoy with chilehead food.  I drink both
beers and wine with hot foods.  They all react differently
together,therefore, people will pick up on things they like with the
combinations and have preferences.  The one wine we've overlooked here is
Sauvignon Blanc and it's midwestern cousin Vidal Blanc.  California has
almost forgotten what SB can be, emphasizing light, acidic Loire Valley
style for the bigger bolder Graves style.  i think these go with hotter
foods better than any of the wines, especially if the chiles and flavors
are more Mexican and Thai type flavors.  I love real, old-fashioned outlaw
Zins with red chile-based foods, but try the SBs, too!

The new chilehead is doing fine at 8 days of age, Mom is going to have pork
in Thai peanut curry this weekend, so we'll see how he does, how many
diapers it'll cost us, etc.
