Vee's fave 5 and a little extra

I've mused about my top five wines for a little over a day, and alas I can't really think of five. Here are my problems:

  • I'll drink a wine no matter what- if its mildly enjoyable, I'll drink to it!fc b
  • I'm still learning to completely discern what in particular in a wine is so enjoyable to me.
  • I'm incredibly forgetful, so my memory doesn't always serve me well, especially if I'm feeling a bit tipsy
  • I become overwhelmed that each and every wine is absolutely different (their like little snowflakes, no two are alike).
    • An Example: I get frustrated when I try a wine a like for example Gewürztraminer of a particular brand I think, "I must like Gewürztraminer" then I try another brand and its everything I don't like in a wine- which leaves me confused.
  • Being overwhelmed and frustrated and confused does not make good for wine drinking.
And ryan is right, sometimes we get stuck on something that we know we like, and avoid the unknown, or the untasted in my case. But we must remember that our young palates are growing and there are many wines to be tasted! So, without further a do, what i like to drink so far:
  1. Rutherford Ranch- Chardonnay
  2. DuMol- Chardonnay
  3. Yellowtail- Shiraz
  4. Zilliken- Reisling
  5. ... still unknown...
Also, a small aside if you've read my comments or my blogs i've mentioned tinikling (sp right) I went to a Latin America Dance Spectacular and one of the dances featured TINIKLING! so, now your imaginations can be put to rest and you can now witness the amazingness of one of our after party favorites!


video

so in case you can't see past the low video quality its basically a version of double dutch stick dance. See you've at least learned one new thing today, THE MORE YOU KNOW!
