Wow. I'm kind of a loser

I have three empty bottles in front of me.

Pierre Sparr Pinot Gris- Alsace, France

Altos De La Hoya Monastrell- Jumilla, Spain

Oreana Winery ?- Santa Barbara California

These are three bottles I had saved because I wanted to blog about them. When I had time.

Right.

I have time, and guess what?! I've lost my notes. Just three empty bottles on top of my refrigerator.

#1. I would not have kept the empties if they weren't worth writing about.

#2. I'm sure they were good.

#3 I'm a little depressed my best friend's nephew did not win American Idol. (Adam Lambert, I'm sorry. David Mitchel, go celebrate anyway)


#4 Tonight I'm drinking a Condesa De Sarabella Garnacha 2007


Is ok. $4.99 at Trader Joe's. After a few hours of decanting it's quite good paired with Iberico Cheese and Cibatta. No nose. Sorry, but I could not get any distinct..anything. "Dull Strawberry" is what I wrote down. I'm not sure what "Dull Strawberry" is. Tasting is something a bit more. Strawberry, Apple, Cranberry maybe? Very soft and supple, surprising for $4.99. Didn't WOW me but drinkble and much, much better than most wines I've found in this price range. The wines I've been too lazy to write about. Those. wines. The wines that didn't make the empty bottle on top of the fridge.

Must. Blog. More.
