Sarah- What I enjoy the most about this is the applicability of wine-dog pair. Personality really does speak (or bark) louder than most things. And the way you lay out the various wine-dog insights is really eye-opening and enlightening. Really makes me want to go to the store and pick up a wine specifically for my neighbor with her dog. Beautifully written.

What kind of dog

This one proved to be rather interesting 🤔 😏 and I did start to wonder what sort of tipple would tickle my taste buds.? 😋 I have Boo-boo, who is about knee high and mixed breed. His origins are, mother: border collie,

father: boxer X Staffordshire terrier (he was a big dog, almost waist high to his shoulder)

Boo-boo has a tendency to like everyone in one place, just so he can keep an eye on all of us.. he will only eat enough food to fill him up, there's no danger of getting overweight here..

He does enjoy having a shower 🚿 but if you try to get him to go outside when it's raining 🌧 he would sooner hold it in until the sun comes out again..🌞 he has a wonderful sense of humour, and once followed me up to the bathroom, nothing new there, but as I came out of the bathroom and went to my room to get dressed, he creeped up behind me and gave me a cheeky nip on the bum..🐕😂😂😂

I don't think I've ever met anyone like him, he actually worked out that it was funny 😄 I turned round to see him bent down in his little 'come on mum, chase me' pose... 😄 🤣 😂

So, what kind of wine 🍷 🤔 do you think would be best suited to have with Boo-boo..?

That combo is interested because it's a combo of an extremely intelligent dog (border collie) with a very emotionally intelligent one (terrier). I need to have a think about this.

Ahhh my Benny Boo Boo died in June. I always called him. BOO Boo Or Booby. Even though his real name was Bellone

BRILLIANT> Thanks for all the science.

You do realize that now you will have to do one on cats and wine, don't you?

(Although - knowing cats - it could just go as: "Whatever. Because fuck it.")

I actually thought of you while writing this. I feel like cats could go for jug wine or they buy strictly by price point, the more expensive the better. Or maybe they pair with cognac?

I feel the one I am left with would pair with cheap beer. Or Vin Jaune. Chaos was a Ripasso della Valpolicella while his sister, Ansia, was a dry Moscato di Pantelleria. Microbo was a fine Meursault. Or smoked artisan barley wine.
