Happy Mother's Day! Give mom what she wants. Can you dig it?

If your mom wants a wine, what are you going to serve?White wine is often thought to be a woman’s wine. However, 44% of women prefer red wine and only 42% prefer white wine. They also like Rose’ and sparkling wine.Women are often more sensitive tasters than men and, therefore, don’t like the presence of tannins in red wine. Red wines with lower tannins include Gamay, Pinot Noir, and Barbera.I’ve replaced the Rose’ with an unoaked Chardonnay because Denise likes this wine, but she also likes Rose’.
