I have always wanted to learn about wines. Maybe its my desire to be more cultured? When I say that I laugh at myself because that's a pipe dream. I love sweat pants, bad music, and the disney channel way too much for that to ever happen. Anyway, I was off to meet a friend of mine last night. She has asked to interview for a proposal she was working on. She asked if I would like to grab a drink and of course I said yes. So we went to this trendy little wine and coffee bar called 1215 and I was really pleased with my experience there. We got out menus and we ordered an appetizer of bruschette. It had the strangest toppings. One of them had sweet potatoes, one had brussel sprouts and the other had gonzo beans. It was absolutely delicious! Especially, the sweet potato one, but may that is because I am partial to sweet potatoes, who knows? Also, I was soon informed that every Wednesday was wine tasting and was asked if I would like to participate. I mean, come on, is that really even a question, duh! So we each received four glasses of wine and descriptions of what the four we were blind tasting were. Then we had to guess which was which. I didn't get any of the right, shocking news! No, no its not. I am terrible at that kind of stuff. However, I got talking to the bartender who is studying for his next wine exam and told him that he needed to teach me his wise ways. I am eager to go back and learn from his expertises and actually learn the difference between wines.
