It's SAD when they stop carding you at 22.
Aarti and I went wine tasting. A jolly good time was had by all. Both. There were two of us.
I think I've decided that I definitely like red wine a little bit better than white. Although it probably would have been a good idea to eat something since my bowl of cereal at breakfast and my granola bar at lunch time... I'm feeling the wine. I'm not a big drinker, normally, so it really hit me, I think. The woman liked us, so she was giving us nearly full glasses instead of the 1/3 or 1/2 she was supposed to. So, five glasses in an hour and a half? I'm feeling all warm and snuggly and smiley right now.
Anyway. I can see the college student in me, in that the cheapest bottle (Dubeouf Syrah) was one of my favorites. On the other hand, it was very un-college-student-like me for my other favorite to be the most expensive bottle (Marques De Caceres Reserva, doesn't that just sound expensive?). We also had Endna Valley Chardonnay, which was okay, Chappellet Dry Chenin Blane, which I really liked, and Echelon Cab. Sauv. (it's abbreviated on the sheet... don't know enough about wine to know what those words are in full), which I didn't like all that much. But it was a lot of fun.
And oh! They're playing "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" on the radio! At home, there's a station that's playing All Christmas Music, All Season Long. I listened all week when I was at home for some NSYNC and nada. Here, we don't have a Christmasy station, but the regular station's playing the boys! Wheeee!! And perhaps the wine is making this more exciting than it actually is.
