Showcase: Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc

[foolish_m0rtal]

Okay, so today we bought a Cupcake 2009 Sauvignon Blanc, a Black Swan 2008 Shiraz, and a Sutter Home 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon. I was super excited.
We got this fantastic Bellavitano cheese that's a mixture of aged cheddar and Parmesan. It's just, hnng, mmm, so GOOD. It's sweet, but it's a complex kind of sweet, not the young simple sweetness from

YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME.

But, Cupcake is apparently not available here. CRIES.

You've taken a wine class? SWEET. I've always wanted to take one, but they're hella expensive. I try a lot of stuff for work, and I know what I like, but damn if I'm able to explain anything, much less the symphony you've got here.

it was a writing requirement for an engineering class. We didn't do any taste testing or anything. So, like most of engineering, we learned all about what it was, how it's done, where it's come from, etc. But we didn't actually experience anything.

mm, I don't know about Chardonnay. I've heard it's become so overhyped now that it's hard to find an actual decent bottle of it.

Okay! I'll find something that goes with Chardonnay, and we can have it with dinner or something. (that sounded SO creepy, but it's not! I swear!)

I know what to make with it too! I just looked it up. I can make really easy crab cakes and maybe some kind of Caribbean salmon I'll have to look into.
