The Delicious Life Cookbook-A-Day Giveaway
Summer Weekend Reading Edition, No. 4
I have a few words - words, people - about what appears to be gross gender stereotyping, but for now, let's just give away a copy of He Said Beer, She Said Wine: Impassioned Food Pairings to Debate and Enjoy -- From Burgers to Brie and Beyond.
Leave a comment on this post to possibly win it. The content of your comment in no way affects your chances of winning, but the quality does. Okay, quality doesn't matter either, since this a random drawing-type of thing. However, if you are so inclined, let us know which you prefer: beer or wine? It's not fair to say "both" or "neither." That kind of wafflicious, indcisive lack of commitment has no place here.
I'm also in the process of randomly selecting the winners from an entire preceding week of giveaways. Until the announcement posts go up for each of these, you can still make comments to add your name to the pool:

Beer for everyday drinking, wine for a more fancy dinner.

it's such a hard choice, but IF the world could only have one, or if I could only drink one for the rest of my life, it would have to be wine.

Ian says
two words...BEER GEEK
Zak says
This is Zak from Shmaltz Brewing Co. I think there's more that can be done with beer because of all of the outside ingredients that can be added to give the brew some more complexity. Sam, the author of the book, and owner of Dogfish Head has done some cool stuff by aging his beers in wine casks, you don't see that too much in the wine industry.

Never won anything in my LIFE. Honest.

Oh definetly wine over beer. It pairs so nicely with so many great foods. Although the hangover headaches can be nasty - I can atest to that today :(
Parker says
Oh god, that comment is nice with my picture gusling back a large glass of wine, yikes, I am going to get a bad rap.
southernoise says
definitely beer for me.
Dana says
Hi Sarah! I say wine, without a doubt...any day, any time. But, on another note, just wanted to let you know that I've added you to my "favorite websites" list on my blog since I've been a long-time reader and fan. You are actually one of the inspirations for me starting my own blog. So...thanks! :)

I like both. But isn't it really a situational thing? For example, if you're out at a 4 or 5 star restaurant with clients, are you going to order a cold one? No, of course not, you look like an uncouth barbarian. Similarly, if you're at your buddy's house watching a game, are you going to be drinking wine? I think not.

I prefer 100% grape juice and while wine is an acquired taste wine come from grapes so hey, wine?

I love beer, more than wine and I'm a girl...
During the summer it's so refreshing!

Ahhh. I grew up in Texas (many moons ago) where wine was what came in a winecooler with a pretty label. All the girls drank beer. Some of the sororities banned their girls from drinking out of a can, but that was the extreme. Now that I live in LaLa, CA it's all about the wine. I am a wino, and happily so. I miss my beer, although I do partake from time to time, but I miss more the girls who feel comfie enough to toss back a few pints.
Mike The Wine Guy is a great source for any newbies thinking of the switch: http://thewhole9.com/blogs/wino-a-go-go/
Viva La Rouge!
Kirby! says
beer, Beer, BEER! I just love beer. It may not be as classy as vino, but it is thrice as delicious. And even though everyone says it gives you a belly, I swear that sometimes, after a night of of many pints, I wake up skinnier. Seriously.
Knitopia says
Beer. But since coming to Oregon I've learned to appreciate wine a bit more. Oregon's also great for beer, of course.
Sonya says
Wine, no question! Like a big, fat cab or a buttery chard. I'm all about the wine. My current obsession is Montepulciano. Although I love Cal reds (living here an' all), I am waaaay crushing on Montepulciano right now.
Alison says
is this contest still open?
SimplyIrresistible..no not me, food! says
I'm wine-r! beers are just like guys...immature! wine...like us gals..."aged to perfection" the older, the wiser, the better.
HIP_M0M says
It's summertime so I'm choosing beer. A nice, cold, refreshing beer. Preferably in a chilled glass. Best enjoyed with a loved one.
Ethan says
I am thoroughly a beer drinker, but I'm slowly being tipped towards enjoying wine, now finding a wine I like on the other hand, that's a bit of a task
Wade says
I am late as balls for commenting on this and the contest no longer applies, but what the hell. Beer. You drink the crap for beer pong in college (Budweiser) but then you grow into more sophisticated tastes as you grow older (Chimay, Maredsous, St. Bernardus....obviously a Belgium fan). The beers grow with you as you get older like Harry Potter books. Or choice in jeans if you're not into Harry Potter.
