Learned something about wine this week...apparently the FDA allows vineyards to add up to 100 chemicals to wine during the winemaking process. Needless to say I was less than impressed. Many European and South American wineries don't use the "new and improved" methods that many wineries do here in the good ol' us of a, including many high end ones. So I set off to Total Wine in search of wines that didn't add shitty ingredients and cost less than $20.
Had this French the other day.
I
Italian tonight.
Both delicious. And even better that they don't have a bunch of unnecessary shit in it. [emoji106]
Valentine's Day with the Mrs and the kids. Found an awesome tasting room/winery/restaurant in San Juan Capistrano. Took a couple bottles home with us for the future!
Tomorrow is national drink wine day. So stop by your local BevMo/Total Wine and pick something up. Be sure to come back and share what you're drinking. [emoji485][emoji485][emoji485]
Old school peachy right there. Nice! That was the wife's and Mine favorite winery in Paso for many many years. I used to love their old vine zin, till they started blending it.
So here's how Amy and I are closing things down for the evening. A super tasty, dark, smooth, chocolatey, "deliverance." From central coasts graveyard vineyard.
Cheers to those missing out on drink wine day!! [emoji6][emoji485][emoji485]
