Wine and friendship, the perfect duo.
Nothing is better than to share a good bottle of wine with a friend after a great busy day of work.
Last Saturday night, after the staff left, my friend Ed and I opened a Marimar Estate Pinot Noir Don Miguel Vineyard Christina 2002 unfiltered from the California Russian Valley. Wow, it was good! We opened the bottle and poured some in the appropriate Pinot Noir Riedel glass. Honestly, it was one of my favorite Pinot from the US that I had. I had this bottle in my cellar for many years and never really had the reaction to pull it and open it. Finally I did. The bottle was unfiltered and was revealing amazing aromas of caramel, beurre noisette, and almost over riped black fruits. The tannin were very soft, a very easy drink at midnight. What better way to end a great day at work with some great discussions.
More, more and more…. Wine and Friends goes hand in hand. Wine is made to share, not keep for ever in a cellar or basement. The day is today on being special. Don’t wait to long, life go by fast, enjoy it the maximum you can, especially with a glass of wine.
