Crystal Clear

Clean...crisp...clear as water...sweet...hmmmm.....2Brothers from James Arthur Vineyards. We had this wine the other night when my parents were here for dinner. It was very good and I enjoyed it at the time; however, I didn't really pay much attention to how clear it was...probably because I was too worried about Lydia eating all the fish that was cooked for my parents on Good Friday. (Note to selves - more fish, less chicken!) But tonight when we opened another bottle it was the first thing that I noticed. It looked like water in a fancy glass.

I really like wine. I like the sweetness of it. I like how it makes me feel all warm and toasty. I like that it quiets my mind. But more than all of those things, I like to see how the taste changes with different foods that you eat. Just this simple glass has a completely different twist when accompanied with a nice, warm brownie. It would be interesting to see how it might change with some cheese or something like naan or bread. And yet it is so good just by itself! Intriguing how something so simple can be so complex!
