wine

i count food along with wine.  the two do go together splendidly.

tonight, we had smoking loon chardonnay.  not the best, but for $8.99, quite lovely.  smooth, but almost too smooth.  as eric stated, "there's not enough body."  this, however, makes for an excellently subtle cooking wine, if you're like me and don't want to fully taste white wine in sauces.

friday night at tyler's party, there was barefoot pinot noir.  i'm not a huge fan of their wines, but they're they kind of wines where once you pop, who cares?  i actually did enjoy the pinot noir, which i drank out of a little half-pint glass from cricket hill while sitting around the very lovely fire bowl in the back yard.  i would buy it.

one of my all-time favorite wines is garnacha de fuego!  it is awesome.  end of story.
