wine

<img class="right" src="wine.jpg" alt="wine" />

Notes on wine I've tried.
![good](/good.png) means I liked it,
![ok](/ok.png) means it was just ok,
![bad](/bad.png) means I didn't like it.
Also see [beer](beer), [chocolate](chocolate), and
[other lists](lists).

Naturally, this isn't comprehensive - I've tried wines that aren't listed here -
and it's biased toward my taste. If I mark a wine <nobr>![bad](/bad.png),</nobr>
I may still think it's good overall, but just doesn't match my own personal
taste, and vice versa. I tend to drink big, sharp, spicy reds.
