Another hobby of mine that i enjoy deeply is wine - i’m by no means a sommelier as some would call me with tea, but i am able to taste differences in wines depending on age, location, type, duration aerated, etcetera. However, it’s an expensive hobby - really expensive. As such, i just don’t really take part in it much any more. Aside from the occasional dinner party themed to a particular culture’s food, i pretty much purchase cheaper wines - my favorite being a california chardonnay. I’m not typically a fan of red wines, but i can enjoy it with a pasta alla pomodoro. Today, i’m drinking a white zinfinde (which is more of a rosé, really), which sports a rather sweet flavor with a beginning note of cherry that very quickly develops into a strong body of melon, and fades away into a slight yet smooth astringency with mild notes of honey. It’s a decent wine for those who don’t quite like complexity or subtle nuances, for sure. While not my favorite, for $6.99 it’s definitey an amazing wine. For those who follow my typical regimen of tea posts, it’s the Shou Mei of wine, both in the aspect it is made using the rejected grapes and pulp during the processing of normal zinfandel, and the fact it has a soft, fruity taste to it. #wine #zinfandel #whitezinfandel #whitezin #glassware #vintageglassware #artdeco #winetime #5oclocksomewhere #europeanculture (at Salem, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbzYmMlmBr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kg2a73jb61ya
