Back with another cheese pairing!! I actually did this a few weeks ago, but am just getting around to writing about it now. My cheese board was far less beautiful and exciting as my first. This one was a lot less thought out than my first tasting. I sort of did this on purpose because…

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I love getting to meet up with a bunch of family that I rarely get to see and eat delicious food! Before the actual holiday of Thanksgiving, my friends and I planned a big “Friendsgiving” dinner where we all cooked different parts of the meal…

It’s funny trying to explain to someone why you’re going to a winery when it’s for a class…I was put in this position quite a few times, but always responded with “I’m going to a winery for my super cool wine class!” People would then usually want to know more about the class, what I…

I chose to do the experiment in Lesson 8: the Big Three Whites. The reason I chose this lesson is because I would normally choose something involving reds, so I wanted to branch out! My instructions were to get 1 Chardonnay, 1 Sauvignon Blanc and 1 Riesling. The textbook provided us with a list of…

I haven’t been this excited to write a wine tasting post all semester! Not that I haven’t enjoyed writing all my other posts, but this one just has a fun back story to it. For Thanksgiving break this year, my family and I went to visit my aunt and uncle who live in New York…

Good ‘ole Velvet Devil. This bottle is a popular choice among my friends, yet I had never tried it until recently! I think most people buy it for the cute name and bottle (guilty!). I was excited to buy it myself and try it for the first time with my new wine knowledge. Let’s get…

Okay…can I just say that having a wine and cheese party with the company of one of my good friends was probably the most amazing school-related thing I have ever done in my college years!! Why don’t I have wine and cheese pairings every week?! There is nothing I love more than some fancy cheese…

:Tenet 2015 The Pundit Syrah” sure is a mouthful! I have yet to try a wine with this fancy of a name, so I was looking forward to it. This was our 6th and final glass of wine of the tasting and honestly at this point, I was ready to go home. I had just…

The second to last wine I got to try at the Blu tasting was a Cabernet Sauvignon. A nice, deep red which made me very excited. At this point in the tasting I was definitely a little bit tipsy, so I was even more excited and ready to drink than before. I swirled and sniffed…

Ah, Pinot Noir. One of my favorite red wines. This was the wine I got to taste directly after the Chardonnay–which I didn’t love–so let’s just say I was ready for it. This glass of wine was SO. GOOD. I only had one piece of cheese left to eat with it which was incredible! The…
