Mike and I have recently discovered the world of wine and expanded our taste buds outside of the Merlot and Chardonnay category. Last August we started a wine club with a few of our friends in which we taste one type of wine, such as Riesling, each month. Each person attending brings a bottle of wine from a preassigned region to share. We eat, drink, and share our tasting expertise (or lack there off) enjoying each other's company over perfectly paired food with the wine of the month.
Through these tastings, I've discovered my fav wine, as pictured, as Zinfandel. Not the white blush variety from the box, but the real red grape from the Lodi region in California. Along with a tasting, we've recently acquired a wine trivia game called Winerd in which you challenge your taste buds and intellect to random wine facts.
So as they say in Sideways, "I'm not drinking any @!#? Merlot!" as my wine repertoire has expanded beyond this simple over done grape.
