More impulse buying.
Okay, okay. It just feels like a lot lately.
So I joined a wine club. I'm pretty happy with the results.
My new issue became where to store the wines.
So I bought - 2 seconds ago, a wine rack/serving table.

I know we could use an end table, and this is prettier than a wire one. $45 all said and done. I'd spend about the same on anything else I might try and buy to store 11 bottles. This gives my collection room to grow. Somehow I doubt I'll regret buying it.
Consumer whore.

Edit: Okay, okay. Now I'm actually kind of excited I bought that... it's pretty. And I really need a wine rack.... cause I'll be buying wine and not drinking all of it. It's so pretty...

Wine and stuff

[kdana.livejournal.com]

Dude. That's neat looking!

Good wine: I hear Marrakesh has good red Morrocan wine if you ever feel like sitting on the floor and eating delicious things with your hands.

Also this restaurant called Buenos Aires Grill (or Cuisine?) apparently has amazing wine from Argentina (apparently wine in Argentina in general is just fuckin amazing). Aaron dug it and he's tried many but enjoyed only like 2 wines before (most taste like "rotten grapes" to him). Plus apparently the steak is to die for and better than anything he's ever had before. He's taking me there for my b-day cause I don't really have any desire to mess with this whole "drinking in public under 21" thing. Especially when there's only a month (exactly) left.

lol.
Jeah. Wine is something that - either you acquire tastes for the more pungent stuff, or you've never tried something that suits your style.

There are all sorts of wines, some I like better than others. A lot of dessert wines appeal more to folks like Jim or others that are less into the "rotten grape" taste.

I really like enjoying wine at home most because it costs less and it doesn't require getting anywhere, but it can be fun to go out too. I'm sort of collecting now for fun. Red wines will most likely give you the rotten grape concept. White wines can be sweeter and less rotten grapey.

Hmmm. Yeah. Having stuff at home is always better. I got a laugh out of it when we went to Canadia on my 19th birthday and I only wanted one drink at the bar cause it was too damn expensive (imo).

One thing I want to do in regards to "going out for wine" is to go to a wine tasting at a vineyard sometime. Perhaps the next time A & I go down to Southern California. I just always thought that'd be neat.

Right!
Wine tasting is a great way to get a feel for what types of wines you would LIKE to accumulate to have on hand at home and stuff like that.
And besides, it's really fun.
I usually get good and buzzed at wine tastings too!!
lol.

I went down to So Cal once, but we never had an opportunity to GO to any Vineyards. A damn shame.

Nice. Maybe you'll have to do that next time you're down there. :P

It'd be fun to go wine tasting in like France or Italy or all over world!! Hmmm. More reasons to travel in the future. Haha :P
