The Warehouse Wine Tasting

I experienced my first public wine tasting today. My sister and I drove down to OKC to Woodward's Wines UNcommon, where the wine tasting was held. I knew I stood among wine experts as I focused my best to characterize what I was tasting.

I had 14 out of the 20 wines on display, in addition to eating elk pizza for the first time (which tastes like sausage). I had to stop drinking when I had the Trentadue Chocolate Amore from Sonoma, CA, a red dessert wine made from Merlot grapes with chocolate added. It was delicious and drinking anything after that would just be a disappointment. It was like drinking chocolate liqueur candy. Another favorite of mine today was the Amorosa Sparkling White Wine from Lodi, CA. It tasted like a sparkling Gerwurstraminer crossed with a Riesling, in other words, sweet. It wasn't quite the Balatore, but I would certainly get it.

That sounds like a blast! Sure makes me feel really uncultured.
