Quick one tonight because it’s already late and ya boy is tired…but we had a really wonderful holiday party with our friends tonight, met some really nice people, and yes, met their dogs. Which is crazy, because their dogs aren’t exactly new, I just haven’t been over to meet them until today.
We blind tasted wines, which was fun. They were all special Trader Joe’s “reserve” wines from the various years that they’d been holding onto with the idea of lining them all up and doing a blind tasting. Super fun. I was surprised to realize that I was actually able to identify wines that belonged to the same area. Not that I was blinding able to NAME that area, but as we were tasting I was able to be like, oh, this one tastes like that other one…and when the labels were all revealed, those wines TOTALLY WERE from that same place. Probably even the same producer, since Trader Joe’s is taking the wine from someone and slapping their name on it. It was super fun. And I’ve definitely learned some stuff about wine.
Anyway…time for sleeps. Night night.
