red, red wine
Went to the wine-tasting festival today. Drank a lot, never got drunk because it's wine and I need a cartload of that to actually get tipsy. I would make a very, very broke drunk. I find that I enjoy white wines better. They're chiller, drier, crisper. The red wines are too tannic and heavy-bodied, and sometimes it tastes like drinking thick, liquid woodsmoke. I bought peach wine, raspberry wine, and cranberry wine from my favorite fruity winery, and a fascinating wine called 'Sweet Sofia' from Rebec Vineyards. It's a white wine made with a blend of herbs and spices, giving it a fascinating herbal flavor and a heady, spicy bouquet. If I keep on this path, I believe my parents will have convinced themselves that I am indeed an alcoholic. I'm not. I like almost every kind of food, and would gladly go to other food tasting festivals if I knew where they were.
