A mighty mighty good wine...

I know nothing about wine. But, I like it and I like to try new wines, and I especially like to hang out with friends who know a lot more about it than I do and who always seem to pick the perfect bottle.

As a side note, at the wine and cheese pairing I went to with A and B last week, we had sparkling wine that was described as a “summer afternoon gallivanting through a country side picking pippins." I don't know what a pippin is, and I must say that the bubbly, while great and crisp, did not at all conjure up images of any sort of gallivant. It would be a really fun job to write descriptions for $13/ glass wines. Unfortunately I never pick up on that soft hint of melon kissed sunshine etc. that people who really know a lot about wine seem to.

Anyway, at Trader Joe's yesterday I picked up Bonny Doon's Pacific Rim Dry Riesling. Only in part because the bottle was beautiful, witty, and cork less. I'm sipping it now and it is proving to be a good blind date.

Hooray for double digit week 10.
