Yes, I've been inactive a very long time. There are many very good reasons for this. And there are many good wines in that time. But the main reason that I've been inactive is that, for the most part, I've been drinking cider and beer, rather than wine. It is time to come out of the closet and admit it. I love beer. I love cider.
Lately, I've been drinking two ciders. Strongbow, and Woodchuck Dark and Dry 802.
Woodchuck has a fairly wide selection, but most of their ciders are too sweet for my palate. The Dark and Dry 802 is, as the name suggests, dark and dry. It has wonderful apple flavors, but not so much sweetness to make it unpleasant. And it's sufficiently dark that you can actually taste the apples - whereas some other ciders are merely sweet, with very little flavor. I like my ciders like I like my beers - DARK.
So, if you like ciders, the D&D is highly recommended, but if you're just getting started with ciders, and want an easier entry, I recommend their Amber Draft or the Granny Smith. All of them are delightful summer sippin', and wonderful with picnics and friends.
