To whoever is reading this…

 

Don’t judge me, but I had my first sip of wine at a young age. I am the youngest of four siblings, so they were all drinking wine (with the supervision of my parents) when they were in their teens, which would mean I was around the age of 8-10 when they offered me sips here and there. Of course, when I was that age I thought it was the most disgusting thing ever created, but over the years my liking for wine has progressed.

 

Confession: I HATE LIQUOR WITH A PASSION. I don’t enjoy drinking it EVER. Now, I am not going to say that I don’t enjoy being a little (or a lot) tipsy from liquor, but I have never been the kind of person that just craves a cranberry vodka. Wine is a different story, though 🙂 I love wine. I love drinking wine, I love the way wine makes me feel, I love all of the different types of wine and looking at all of the different types of bottles…. bottom line is I really like wine. I used to be a white wine only kind of girl, but after I studied abroad in Italy during Summer 2017, I developed a new love for red wine.

 

After Italy, I couldn’t get myself to drink wine that had any sweetness in it at all. I only wanted flavors that were dry and red. Since time has passed between from my Italian adventures and now, my taste for white wine has come back. Now I feel like I like red and white wines pretty equally. I hate the super sweet wines, like Moscato and Riesling, and enjoy a Rose every now and then.

 

This semester, I hope to further my knowledge about wine, where it comes from, how it’s made and all of the other details there is to know about wine. I am really excited to take this course and have an awesome excuse to go drink wine and eat cheese in the middle of the week!

 

Talk to you next wine time,
