Hello there to everyone who is following me or even just
glancing at this page every once in a while!
I have been pretty darn adventurous in the last week. This past Sunday I competed at a freestyle
skiing competition up at Snowshoe, WV. I
actually managed to come in first place!!!
With that came a free pair of skis, goggles and $250 to now spend the
proper way, ON WINE. Then reality came
hauling back. I had three tests on Monday
and Tuesday all of which went pretty bad but hopefully everyone else did just
as badly so maybe I will feel better.
But Monday was my birthday so even though I couldn’t do anything it was
an ok day?!
I would like to tell you about a little experiment I did on
Tuesday night (not on purpose actually).
So I was drinking this Beringer Riesling which I gave a pretty good
review to. Now I was snacking on some
pretzels before I started drinking this and holy crap! Did it taste like pure sugar water or
what?? I was shocked and almost turned
off the bottle of wine it was so sweet.
But me being a poor college kid, I went ahead and kept drinking. Well I had
then walked away and started to eat some chocolate covered raisins. I poured myself another glass and the wine
did a complete 360. It was dry with
beautiful flavors coming out and it was shocking because now I loved the
wine. To me it was amazing that something
as simple as that could make such a big different. Now I know how important
food pairing is with wine!
Finally piece of information before I let you scroll down
and see what I have tasted this week… I have a very burnt tongue that I used to
taste the wine and so I can’t promise these reviews are going to be accurate to
even my standards. I made some wonderful
homemade chicken noodle soup last night for my Honey who is sick as a dog. And I was so excited to try it that my tongue
got the worst of it! Now the soup was
fantastic but my tongue definitely doesn’t like me right now.
Now read on and just for your viewing pleasure only, I hope
your wine rack looks like mine (I know you wish you had a ski rack) J
