Now, back to wine
So tonight I went and got a new bookshelf. It doesn't match the other one in the living rooms. Screw it, esthetics isn't my specialty. But I needed a new bookshelf cause my DVD collection is taking up most of the room on the old one.
Right, so picked up two more bottles of wine.
One, a pinot noir from some company called Red Bicyclette. The other, a gewurztraminer (a German white wine) from Fetzer.
Red Bicyclette...makes me think it's a French bumwine. But I wanted to try some pinot, it was $8 bucks and Target has a very limited selection.
Once I got home I got impatient and cracked it open. Not bad. Not bad. Need to try it a little more. Try it with a proper meal suitable for a pinot (though it does seem to be a very versatile wine judging by what I'm reading).
I can say that I think I liked the cabernet better. The chardonnay was pretty good, but I'm kinda coming to the conclusion I'm a red wine kinda guy. That or Fetzer makes lousy white wines. Course I could be drinking lousy wine regardless, how am I to know?
Anyway, I'm really liking this experiment. Couple of glasses of wine gets a guy really relaxed. A hot woman could really take advantage of me if she wanted to (note to hot women, take advantage of me). I've never been a drinker at all but this suits me very much I think. I still wanna try a real French wine but research should come first I think. The French, from what I've read, seem to experiment a lot more whereas everything here is pretty straight forward.
Actually, I did want to get a sauvignon blanc but all they had was a single $20 dollar bottle and I was already spending a little too much. HEB has a bigger selection. Really should drop by Feldman's when I get a chance, cause they sell real wine.
If I can have a bit of a Macross moment...
PRAISE CULTURE!
