Wine

Maybe it's my bout of depression talking, but I've come to a startling conclusion...

I like wine!

Back when things were good and lucrative (you know...when we had a regular income and not wondering where out next dollar was going to come from), hubby and I would buy bottles of wine on our trips to the market. We'd buy them with the thought of drinking them...whether it was simply the two of us sharing a bottle over dinner, or possibly even sharing a bottle or two with friends. However, the bottles all remained untouched and collecting dust in our wine rack.

But that has since changed...

I can safely conclude that I detest red wine. It's too bitter and dry and I simply can't stomach it.

No...I've come to the conclusion that I prefer white and rosy wines...though, I did come across 1 particular Merlot that I find simply addicting. It's made by Wild Vines, and it's blackberry flavored which makes it very smooth and easy to swallow. You see...I don't like drinks that bite me back, and up until now, red wines have always bitten me back.

Maybe someday I'll develop a taste for red wine. After all, my mother couldn't stand red wine until a few years ago, and now it's all she drinks. I guess that proves that anything is possible...but in any case, I don't see that change happening anytime soon.

Everyone has their favorite brand of wine, and I think I can safely say that my favorite is Wild Vines. In fact, I'm drinking a glass of their strawberry-flavored white zinfandel right now. Now, it may not be the most fancy of brands out there (it doesn't even have a cork, but a screw-off top), but it's always reasonably priced AND it's delicious.

So yeah...that's pretty much it.

I like wine...now excuse me while I attend to my glass...

Speaking of drinks...I wonder where my mug of tea got off to...
