In fact, it’s only been in the last year or two that I stopped making that ugly, bitter face that non-wine drinkers make when they drink wine. I used to only order a glass of wine at a restaurant when they didn’t serve hard alcohol. And yes, I was the one in the wine aisle picking out a bottle based on the cutest label or cleverest name (Alright…I still do that. A girl has to have some reason for trying a new bottle, doesn’t she?!?)
But slowly over time (and after many happy hours with my friends), I’ve learned to like wine, or at least identify what kinds of wine I like (usually sweet ones). I have even taken a wine tasting class with my brother at North Seattle Community College. (You should check it out. It's fun, tasty, and educational! http://www.learnatnorth.org/classes.html) And I can honestly say I enjoy having an occasional glass of wine...it defiantly makes coming home from work and cooking dinner a lot more enjoyable, that's for sure!
So when you read my Wine Wednesday review each week, look for a review that is short, sweet, and real...no uppity wine snobs here!
This week’s review is on California Rabbit: Hopping White, 2009. It’s a white wine blend from California. According to the label, the “lightweight glass bottle reduces packaging by 30% and reduces carbon footprint by 25% while delivering fine wine in an elegant bottle with a convenient screw-top!“ I thought the name was fun and the graphics cute. It’s a pretty tasty white wine, not too sweet, not too dry. I had some yesterday, and I tried it again today. I think it had a better taste the first day, so I would recommend not opening this bottle unless you’re going to finish it in one day…perhaps on an outing with your friends? And at $2.99 it is quite the deal! Make sure to get a few bottles before Grocery Outlet sells out. (You never know if and when they will carry it again!)
