Louis Jadot is usually one I grab at the store, but now I want to try that French Blue one from Kroger and that $7 wine as well! <br /><br />And I am pretty sure I am not discerning in the least.

Looks like a wonderful gathering. I learned a lot about wine! I made a beef stew and am drinking a glass of Meiomi Pinot Noir, which I used to put in the broth also. It has a screw top not a cork! I don't know if that is considered a bad thing but I do enjoy a glass. I have taken note of all your shared.

The wines sound wonderful, too. The white is right up my alley! <br /><br />I am glad you didn't get covid!! Phew! I keep hearing of people getting covid when they travel. I'm probably at the end of my period of immunity and I got my booster in August - right before they released the new one. Doh. But I may be eligible for more monoclonal antibodies this fall/winter.

I'm not much of a wine person, but I always enjoy seeing the wines you choose for your special get-togethers. I basically buy a wine if it has a cool or whimsical label haha. I bet it felt so good getting together with the gang after all this time. My friend back in my hometown used to do this every now and then, but I never got a chance to attend.

I think everyone is ready to begin venturing out and gathering together again and still staying safe with updated boosters. I am a red wine aficionado. I never drank wine until I met my husband and he grew up with a father who made his own Italian wine and that is the first wine I tasted. It was very strong so I always judged wine by its strength of taste. I like the definition of "pull" as it was definitely a wine that had a lot of tannins. We often buy hearty reds.<br />Heavy appetizers are also a wonderful choice of food and fun to eat! Everything looked delicious!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.com
