March Wine Night


Last night was "wine night", it's something Ramzi, Kenny, and I organize once a month for our friends and their friends. The rules are simple, anyone can come to the party as long as they bring a bottle of wine and their own glass and dress up. We provide the snacks and the music. Wine night is always a lot of fun, lots of wine, lots of people, music, dancing, and last night was no exception. 

On top of the usual mingling, we also had a tasting game. There were five unknown wines that the contestants had to guess what kind of wine it is, e.g., merlot, cabernet, etc. Bonus points were awarded to those that could find one word to describe the wine and that also appears on the label. One person got all five correct! I guess it was a lot harder than we thought, or maybe people were pretty "wined up" by the time they started! :) 

I think it's a clear sign that people attending wine night are not really wine connoisseurs, but winos (like me). It's also a clear sign we need to drink more wine, practice makes perfect right?!
