Wine

[Juniper]

I've never been much of a wine drinker. Whenever I do drink it, I've usually chosen a chardonnay -- something sweet. I like sweet wine. Obviously I have not developed a wine palate yet. I always said I hated red wine, but hubby got a bottle of Turning Leaf merlot from someone on his route for Christmas, and it was yummy! I went to the store to get more, but alas, it was a different year and YUCK, that one just was not good.

So, I decided to try something else. I picked up this:

Wine in a box -- well, it's good for folks like me, who are just going to have a couple glasses at a time. My hubby doesn't drink. And you know, it's not bad!

I just have to be careful, you know. I can drink 5 beers and still be in command of all my senses (and memory!) but for some reason wine kicks my ass.

A couple nice stores nearby have wine tastings once a week - I understand it's a networking event, not just a drinking event. I think I might like to check it out. I might need to learn a little bit more about wine first though.
