This will be my wine blog! Excited to be here and take you on the journey of me exploring and learning about wine! Thanks for stopping by. A little about wine in my life so far. I am Catholic, so the first time I tried wine was at Mass on Sunday when I was 8. At the time I thought it was very bitter and odd. The smell made my head swim, so I took the smallest sip possible.
About 13 years later I started trying wines and all different kinds of alcohols. I have only had white wine once. I was at a wedding and the bride's grandfather handed me a cup of white wine. Of course I obliged and drank it, but it was one of the most bitter headache-inducing drinks of my life. Since then, I have tried some red wines and found them much more appealing. Specifically I tried a pinot noir by Meiomi that I found smooth, not too sweet, and not too strong. I have been drinking it with friends at my apartment some evenings. I have also tried some of the wines mixed with other fruit flavors, but I usually find them too sweet for my liking. I had some other instances of trying wine from get togethers and dinners where I did not know the wine being served. Either way wine can be an exciting drink enjoyed best with laughs and friends from my experience.
During this semester I hope to expand my knowledge of wines and how to drink them. I want to try many different types of wine and become familiar with their names and general flavors. I am looking at this class as a way gain a new social skill for networking and entertaining! That's all for now and here is a picture of me!
