Wine post
Since I am limited to my choices of alcohol, I am trying to enjoy it. I need a bumper sticker with the saying "Life's too short to drink cheap wine".
Anyway, doing last minute CostCo shopping right before Christmas, I stumbled across a bottle of the 2002 Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon made by Chateau Ste. Michelle. In a moment of nostaglia of visiting that vineyard (along with several others in the area) when I visited my friend in Seattle, I snatched up a bottle.
With tax, it was a bit over $22. I decided to save it for New Year's Eve. So we brought the bottle to Tombstone along with real wine glasses. We opened it right before midnight, but I was so congested with cold that I couldn't taste anything.
So I reopened it right now now that I can sorta breathe out of my nose. It's a very nice mild cab. Not sure if I'd buy another bottle for the price.
I guess I will make a New Years resolution to figure out how to rate wine better. If anything, it'll be fun to try.
