    Re: Carbonated drinks

    Why the issue with specific grapes or types of wines? We make our own wine and brew our own beer, so I'm curious. Also - on the subject of carbonation - I'm very fortunate - since we keg our own...

    Ooh - I'll have to check out the FitnessPal app. I'm currently using MyNetDiary on my iPhone. That works really well, but but having the bar code reader option is cool too!
