The wining was the 7-bottle blind tasting we held at our house. It was so much freaking fun. One person picks 12 bottles, a third party wraps 6 of them, then we go through them, one through six, and when we're done, we unveil them, starting with the acknowledged worst one.
In past tastings, we've had $8 bottles beat out $75 bottles. It's strange, everyone generally comes to a consensus on the ordering of the wines. There are usually a few that we love, a couple we like, and maybe one or two clear losers. Tonight was mind-blowing as usual, as hubby's favorite wine placed fifth, and I recognized two of my favorites by taste and was RIGHT, FUCK YEAH.
So. I highly recommend double-blind tastings.
Secondly, I just wanted to whine a little bit. Because I did.
WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE.
OK, now I am going to finish watching Kung Fu Panda with the kid and go to sleep.
Bonus! Picture I took at the grocery store as it was starting to rain and the smoke was rising from a fire out Indian Creek that a lightning bolt started. It's going to be smoky all up in this valley for a few days.

Um. I'm moving there tomorrow, I just decided.
ReplyDeleteI would be SO MUCH HAPPIER to go to the grocery store if THAT was my view.
Yeah, I'm in on that. I need to get out of Chicago anyway, right?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I so want to do a blind tasting now!
