Wine I Drank
I like wine. I started a new blog about wine. Well, it’s not really about wine, it’s pictures of the labels of the wine I drink/drank/drunk. Follow me and my grape adventures.
I told myself that as soon as I got a job, I was going to open (and drink) this. Well, as of last night it is empty. And it was just a delish as I remember when I tasted it in Napa last summer.
I bought this wine from World Market a couple weeks ago. It was $3.99. I figured it would be the ideal bottle to open mid-week when I needed a glass of wine and didn’t care if I had only one glass and then dumped the rest down the drain.
Today was a day that I needed a glass of wine after work. So I opened this bottle and poured myself a glass. It’s not half bad. It’s not great, I wouldn’t want more than one glass at a time, but it is definitely making me feel better right now. I’ll see how it tastes tomorrow after sitting on my counter overnight, but I’d say it was worth the $3.99 I paid for it.
