If you have a cat, you probably know how her mood can vary.  Your cat can spend hours laying in the sun, sleeping contentedly.  Nothing disturbs her.  She might stretch and yawn occasionally, but other than that it appears that her afternoon will be filled with sleep.

When serving wine with dinner, I prefer to offer a red wine.  I enjoy the depth and full-body that is presented by a Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz.  However, occasionally red wine seems too powerful for the meal I will be serving.

Recently, we had a simple dinner of cheese and crackers, and a white wine seemed more appropriate.  I still wanted a wine that was full-bodied, and the Chenin Blanc that my husband purchased was perfect.  To learn more about this excellent wine, visit our sister site, Parched No More.
