Pinot Grigio
Made from the pinot gris grapes, Pinot Grigio is the white form of Pinot Noir. This wine can be light to full bodied depending on which region the bottle is from.
Cavit Pinot Grigio
From the delle Venezie region of Italy this Pinot Grigio is a light bodied wine the has certain crisp flavors.
Sutter Home
From California this wine is said to have a crisp taste containing hints of pepper and arugula. However all I tasted was an aftertaste of gross cheese. This brand is probably the least expensive for wine and I'm beginning to think there's a reason for it. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $2 on the other bottle.

Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer is a dry, white wine that sometimes comes in a spritz, or bubbly, form. It combines the flavors of the Gewurztraminer grapes with lychee, passion fruit and some floral tones. Its a smooth wine with no unpleasant after taste. I've found that it pairs well with spicy foods, chicken and a few sweets. What will you pair it with?
A German Gewurtraminer and my first introduction to this type of wine. Delicious and inexpensive.

Moscato D'Asti
Classification: Sparkling White Wine, Dessert Wine
Color: Straw, like white grape juice
Taste: Sugary Sweet
This is the sweet tea's of wines. And according to Forbes Moscato D'Asti is the perfect picnic wine. If you want a sweet wine, go for the Moscato D'Asti. Personally I couldn't figure what types of food to pair with this wine, it seemed the sugary sweetness overran all the other flavors. Whats your favorite pairing?
Brand: Piazzo Comm Armando
I splurged on this bottle ($22!!) and it was well worth it. This is the first wine that I've drunk and immediately thought, "Mmm, this is good!"
Not as tastefully sweet as the Piazzo Comm Armando, but nicer on my wallet.
Devil in the Dark by Evelyn Rogers
Book Blurb:
He rode out of the Yorkshire mist, a dark figure on a dark horse. Was he a living man or a nightmare vision, conjured up by her fearful imagination and her uncertain future?
Voices swirled in her head:
They say he's more than human,
A man's life is in danger when he's around...
And a woman's virtue.
Repelled yet fascinated, Lucinda found herself swept into a whirlwind courtship. Yet even as his lips set fire to her heart, she could not forget his words of warning on the night they met:
Tread softly. Heed little that you see and hear.
Then leave. For God's sake leave.
Whether he was the lover of her dreams or the embodiment of all she feared, she sensed he would always be her... Devil in the Dark.
