So here's the deal -
I keep a personal journal,
I'll keep a journal of the work I do for the program this semester,
By the time I get to the bog that my father keeps suggesting I write, that makes the third time I've relayed the relatively tedious events of my life in print. That's not even counting all of the mental or vocal rehashing I've done that day, and it doesn't leave any room for private correspondence...
The solution? A themed blog centered on the different things I drink.
Ah! A journal about alcohol! Now you're playing Farnesworth's game!
No, I'm not an alcoholic -
I'm an alcohoIST.
This fall I'll be turning 21, and living in luscious Tuscana - home to fine food and finer wines. What better way to document my time there then by detailing all of the wonderful new (liquid) experiences life presents me with?
Now, to business.
In honor of my impending departure, we celebrated last night with one of the ice wines that have been sitting in our refrigerator for the past several months. The label suggests the sweet rose colored wine will have strong hints of cassis and an after-taste of strawberry jam. What can I say - I like sweet wines. Renowned for their sweetness, which comes from pressing the grapes once they're frozen so that only the ripest grapes will release their juices, this was a particularly fine bottle. Not overly sweet - it actually did deliver on the sugary tartness of strawberries, with just a hint of crystalized sugar and, of course, the lovely flavor of ripe grapes. Excellent with dark chocolate.
Not impressed with my blog so far? Hey, you actually came to the site and read it! Not something I would have done. Don't worry, I suspect the posts will become more interesting once I actually ship off to the continent. And hey - that's tomorrow. Leave me comments, email me, There's nothing like a full inbox in the morning.
ciao
