This is my new favorite wine. It’s a Muscato that J picked up at the grocery store. It’s about $18 a bottle, a bit high for our tastes and in comparison to what we normally drink, but it’s well worth it.
I went to a wine tasting last night at All On The Same Page Bookstore. I only had one glass and it was of a Chardonnay that a writer friend had brought. It was quite good and was the first glass of Chardonnay I’d drank in years. I tend to be more of a “sweet” wine person.
It reminded me though how much I actually do like Chardonnay, so I may be searching the grocery store for a good bottle of it sometime soon.
Years ago J and I threw a wine and cheese party for friends. It was a huge success. We’ve been in our house for six years now and have yet to throw one here. I don’t know why. Maybe this will be the year.

Equally interesting is doing a cheap wine tasting night. $5 per bottle max (or $8 adjusted for inflation I guess). Everyone votes on the worst. Power tip, ask wine purveyors if they have slow movers they can discount. Anything they bring in from ‘the back room’ is extra points. Found a truly horrid wine from a former Soviet republic that way.
