Wine lovers: He's passionate about red, she's devoted to white - how to bridge the color divide Christina Kelly, Special to The Chronicle Friday, February 8, 2008 A couple walked into K&L Wine Merchants in San Francisco recently with a dilemma faced by many partners: the husband liked red wine and his wife preferred white. Scott Beckerley, assistant manager, said the wife was trying her husband's Cabernet Sauvignon, but said it had "too much of a bite" and was "too puckery" for her tastes. She was diluting it with ice cubes, trying to force herself to like it since her doctor suggested she drink red wine for its health benefits. Beckerley suggested she try a Cru Beaujolais - which is lighter and less tannic. The switch worked. Although she still enjoys white wine, she can now share a red with her husband. "It was just a matter of finding an entry for her - something they could both enjoy," said Beckerley. www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/08/WI88UQ1U8.DTLIn vino veritas, Andrea
