I made ribs in the crock pot today... 6 1/2 hours of simmering goodness. We had a slow baked potato and okra... good ole' homemade BBQ.
Troy and I decided to open two different wines tonight. I am having Namaste Peace (80% Chardonnay, 20 % Gewürztraminer) and Troy is have Stag's Leap Artrmis Cabernet Sauvignon. Let us tell you all about our wines while we are only on our first glasses.
Namaste 2012 Peace
The aroma in the glass gives a oak barrel and clean citrus. But the flavors are great. It is semi-sweet (sweet but not too sweet and girly), lots of lime, no hint of the butter bomb that I typically love, floral notes and stainless steele fermentation (don't usually like the stainless steal, but it isn't over powering on the finish).
I happened by this bottle in the grocery store and thought it should drop off in the basket. I am liking the flavors and will have to purchase again.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Troy describes this wine as having liquorice flavors, plum, dark cherries, a little past the age of the best drinking, and light pepper notes. Troy has laid this down a smidge too long, but well worth the wait.
All I can smell a big glass of grape juice across the table from me. Glad I am having Namaste!
