Well, well, well. It has been way too long
since I've put on my blogger hat and posted something here. Since springtime is finally here, maybe it's time for a few words... not that spring has anything to
do with anything. You know, all that fresh new season, longer day, brighter
horizons kind of stuff. So, what's been going on and swirling around in my wine
life? Me, I've enjoying lots of great wine but very slack about posting to my blog!
There have been too many wines to remember
that have graced my glass since I last wrote something here, but then there can
never really be too many wines. Right? I recently attended an amazing wine
dinner at Second Empire in Raleigh Champagne Bordeaux
Attending events such as that with my wine
buddies, the Mad Dawgs (check us out on Facebook), as well as another recent
dinner featuring a decadent main course of TurDucKen continue to offer me more
insight into the world of pairings. When you stuff a turkey with a chicken and
a duck, then roast with lots of rich yummy stuffing, the wine pairing
challenges are kicked up several notches. We tried wine from France Italy Australia USA Spain ALL good. Granted some
were better than others, but (I repeat) they were ALL GOOD! Drink what you
like and like what you drink... that's my new motto.
As we roll into warmer months and begin to sip
more crisp acidic whites and lighter reds to pair with all the outdoor cooking
we'll be doing, remember, it's not about the wine or the food or the pairing,
it's about the moment. Enjoy the moment. Live in the moment. Savor the present,
because it is truly a gift!
Until next time... cheers!
