Enjoying a glass of wine or two in good company is one of my vices. But due to… ehm… overindulging in sweet white wines when I first started drinking alcohol I tend to stick to red wine. Every now and then a friend will pour me a glass of white wine, and I am realizing that I might have been missing out. So, my newest mission is to start exploring white wines, and I am starting with the kind that can make a warm summer evening on the balcony even more enjoyable 
My first step was to ask my knowledgeable friends on Twitter which white wines they would recommend. And as you see they know their stuff!
