Wrong decision on the wine front
DH and I rarely drink anymore. We're trying to conceive and it does take a toll on one's already slim chances. Occasionally we'll buy a bottle to enjoy. Well we went shopping for Christmas baking and stopped to get a bottle to enjoy while we were making cookies, etc. Gary had wanted to go for the Merlot we'd had previously, but I wanted something different, a Cabernet. So Gary picked up a bottle and left. So tonight we opened it. Gary took the first sip and make a face. I asked if it was okay. He said I think it needs to be decanted. Then I smelled it and I said it smells funny. Gary said yeah jet fuel. I said it can't be that bad. So I tasted it and gosh it was awful. Then Gary said maybe it needs to breathe for about 15 minutes. I waited and smelled again... still smelled funny. Then I pinched my nose and took a sip. It was tolerable. Then I stated that it was only the wine may need to breathe, but I didn't when I drank it. DH laughed and reminded me that he wanted the Merlot. I said I was sorry, but I wanted something different. He said well this *is^ different. :::facepalm::::
