Today, Edie and I, did a mini-wine tour. I purchased five bottles, she purchased three. The weather was crappy, as usual, and Edie tried to walk but her knee was hurting her. Now I’m not a big wine drinker, but there are a couple of wines from a couple of wineries that are simply delicious. One is Blanc de Blanc…a white bubbly that is better than most white champaigns. Edie bought three bottles and I choose to buy one called Spumante Blush. When we were much younger, dad would purchase an Italian spumante that we’d have on special occasions. On my twenty-fifth birthday I was fortunate enough to be in Italy where my cousins bottled their own sparkling champaign. This blush reminds me of theirs. Hopefully I won’t get as drunk as I did that day. Alas, I have no one to share the bounty of the vine with these days so I have to wait for very special occasions, like birthdays and such. My sister and brother-in-law’s wedding anniversary is coming up and I’m going to bring a few of these buys with me when we celebrate their thirty-fifth. Enjoying a glass of wine with family is a special treat. Once in a while Edie and I indulge, too, although she likes very dry reds and I’m a semi-sweet kind of girl. I doubt I’ll imbib this evening, but it’s something to look forward to. And when I do, I’ll lift a glass to you. Have a great evening.
