Special Guests

Hey Meanies,

Last Saturday, my favorite cousin and best friend from BK came to visit me. I was super excited because I haven't seen them in a long time and I usually don't have guests at my apartment. People seem to think I live far out in west bubbafuck. I'm only an hour and half away from NYC. It took them 3 hours to get here because of traffic. And they got semi-lost, they made it very clear to me by saying "the things we do for you" in a nice way of saying we're hungry and annoyed.

Anyway when we get together it's a problem. I decided we're going to eat, chat, drink and act a damn fool. So we had a mini wine tasting session. We were excited because we have always wanted to do wine tasting. These are the wines we had: Sweet Bitch Merlot, Sutter Home Cabernet Sauvignon, Gallo Family White Zinfandel, and Sutter Home Moscato. Honestly, my friends preferred the Moscato and White Zinfandel. They said the Merlot wasn't bad but it left a after taste behind like cardboard. Yes they said cardboard.

So this is what I learned last night, I had lemon cake with a berry/pineapple sauce with a glass of the Merlot. I took a sip before eating the cake, but when I ate the cake and took another sip it was not the same sweet & fruity Merlot. The taste of the wine did a 360 and tasted like the Cabernet Sauvignon. I thought I was going crazy. I'm starting to wonder if my friends wasn't sucking down the new make your own Coolattas if the wine would have tasted different to them. I guess we have next time to figure it out. Anyway, I had a blast and was very grateful that they came and visited me. The little things mean more to me than you can imagine.
