So the thing about wine is, and let's be honest, it tastes like dirty feet and sour grapes mixed into some concoction. However like beer it is an acquired taste that you come to enjoy. This weekend, we savored it. Thanks to CC (aka Cassia Carter) we had unlimited tasting at a local grape joint. Being the wine critic I am, before going I was able to rightly distinguish pretty much the whites from the reds. After CC's very knowledgable roundabout tour I had a new vocabulary and a growing appreciation for this world renowned beverage.
Going to the winery with friends was a total blast. When does friends and wine not turn out fun? I really enjoyed David's list idea where you taste and write down what you notice. When we were all done everyone had pretty much narrowed down the list to three preferred wines. Not bad for a list of 20 wines or so. 
My favorite part of the day however culminated with stinky cheese, a baguette, a bottle of our preferred choice, a crisp Fall afternoon, and a few friends.
