esemeCelebrating the new job.
Made pasta sauce, and decided to add some nice wine for flavor: a Berringer White Merlot.
Dad and I had a glass of that with the meal (I know it will go well with the food- it's in the food).
Dad decided to buy me nice wine to celebrate. I like sweet red wines and blushes. Neither of which can be a "good wine" according to wine enthusiasts. Bah, I say.
He went to Tess's Market, of course. That's the place to buy wine around here. Tess was a guy who really liked wine. So while it has the look of a small corner market, nothing special at all, I've been told that they have the best wine selection in the Mid-Coast area. Sadly, every time I've tried to go they have been closed. Dad was able to get me a nice Bully Hill red, and a blush from somewhere.
He aslo got a desert wine, from a winery here in Maine. He asked for some after our pasta, although we had no desert. I poured a half glass of the blackberry wine, as there is less in the narrow bottle. Dad said that was a good idea, as it had been fortified.
I took another look at the label. Winterport Winery (of Winterport, Maine). The Flying Dutchman. Blackberry wine... and yes, the good people of the Winterport Winery have indeed seen fit to fortify this wine- with grape brandy.
Damn. This is some of the best stuff I have tasted. I really must get more so I can host some sort of housewarming party in style.
