I'm not a wine drinker. Truth be told I'm not an alcohol drinker - unless it's in Margaritas. However I was roped into attending a wine tasting at Elk Run Winery today. My friend won a few passes and I'm always up for any activity that may entail food (there were cheese and crackers), so of course I went.
After being slightly grumpy about the fact my Saturday was being ruined by wine, and after being given the mandate of trying them all in hopes of me finding one I could tolerate, I have to admit I had a lovely time. I hated most of the wine. It's just awful and I have no idea why people drink that stuff for fun.
But I did find one that I could sip without making the "this is awful, please just serve me some iced tea" face. Some sort of super sweet dessert wine that tasted like apple juice - so you know, I'm still screwed when it comes to finding it on a menu. But I'm still counting that as a win in my book. Plus I got to meet Moo the ever so sleepy, very well fed winery cat and spend a great afternoon laughing and eating with wonderful friends (thankfully it involved lunch afterwards - cheese and crackers don't get me too far.) All in all, what could have been rotten was a fabulous time!
