Comments on: Pregnant Pause: Stop Yer Wine-ing! http://blogs.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/02/19/pregnant-pause-stop-yer-wine-ing/ Culinary Rants & Raves from Bay Area Foodies and Professionals Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:41:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kim http://blogs.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/02/19/pregnant-pause-stop-yer-wine-ing/comment-page-1/#comment-12095 Kim Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:51:04 +0000 http://blogs.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=2064#comment-12095 When I was pregnant we went through all the non-alcoholic wines we could find. They all were undrinkable. We did find we liked Klausthaler beer, though - it's made in Germany. Then my OB told me non-alcoholic beer was out, because there is still a little of it. I keep it around now that I'm breastfeeding, though. My best replacement for wine was Trader Joe's sparkling Pomegranate juice. Also, plain pomegranate juice for mulling (I was pregnant over Christmas). It had a bit of tannic flavor, and wasn't too sweet.

I had hopes for the newest juniper, but again: too sweet. For me, they only work in mocktails. Richard: Ooh, that's a GREAT idea. I will have to try that tonight! Thanks!

I like the rhubarb, despite the complete lack of rhubarb-y-ness. They're pretty darn tasty and have the lovely mouthfeel of a dry sparkling wine. http://www.drysoda.com/ Have you tried the Dry sodas?

I learned this trick last time I stopped by the tasting room (because yes, the grape juices by themselves can be awfully sweet.) Try mixing the Navarro Verjus with their Gewurztraminer juice.
