I had hoped to blog about the wines from one of my favorite wine bars, but I was only able to get one glass due to slower than expected service. It was a Chilean Chardonnay called Los Vascos with guava, apricot, stone fruit, and hints of sage. The waitress said it was "an unusual wine" but I really liked it. The last few times I've been to that wine bar I've always ordered Charles Chimicky Trumps Shiraz, which has been one of my all-time favorite reds. Wine Diva bought me a bottle of it recently, which I may crack open this weekend and enjoy on my patio while I dive into our Halloween-themed October book - Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.
This Young Adult novel is not meant to be a thought-provoking work of literary genius but is supposed to give us a much needed break from all these books about suicide and death... Hmm - I wonder if a story about the living dead is the best choice...
