I may not be good at math, but I have a very particular set of skills when it comes to wine.
Youāre jealous, arenāt you?.
How did it start? Who knows. When did I first pay attention that it was happening? No clue. Somehow, a road trip with Jackie from Pennsylvania to Montana comes to mind. Werenāt we in that Holiday Inn in Gilette, Wyoming, stressed and bought a bottle for the room? Letās go with that.
Plastic cups, Champagne flutes (filled with Prosecco), squat glasses or tall Riedel gobletsā¦.
It doesnāt matter what type of glass Iām pouring vino into, 99% of the time, I pour them evenly. You scoff, āWhatās so remarkable about that?ā I am one of the least precise people youāll meet. Alex said yes when I asked if we could get a mower so I could take over the job. It wasnāt until we brought it home that I warned him, āI do not mow straight.ā Sure, our yard is curvy and hilly and doesnāt have much straight about it. Doesnāt matter. Give me a football field and Iāll mow it in such random stripes that youāll be stunned.
Iām not much for astrology these days, but thereās something to me being a June babyāa Cancer crab. Have you ever seen a crab walk in a straight line? Er, no, it doesnāt happen. They go forward by going side to side. Maybe itās a crab waddle?
Marvel at my un-retouched, un-cheating glasses of wine:
This photo looking down into a goblet of red wine is just for fun. Cool, eh?
What Did You Ask
Um, yes, you are correct. These nuanced pours only occur before I imbibe that first glass of wine. Youāre not going to get all critical on me, are you? Now, stop that and go pour a beautiful glass of vino for yourself ā¦ and a friend.
*When you go to Parma, Italy, enjoy wine with that prosciutto
Your talents never cease to amaze me!
They are many and varied. Ha!
Great collection of wine glasses. I particularly like the red wine glasses. Very cool.
Me, too!
Lovely glassware. I think I have a few of the same…I love my Riedel too:) So very chic:)
Jacquie, we are the chic-girls (women!), after all. HA!
A friend of mine has black wine glasses, and I just can’t seem to get the hang of drinking out of them. It’s weird to drink liquid out of a dark glass for some reason š
Ew, Jeri. I wouldn’t like black wine glasses at all. I don’t mind ones with designs on them, but if they are colored in anyway, it distracts from the one for me. Here’s to clear Riedel!
Lovely glassware. Especially with red wine inside!
If we had some of Doreen’s favorite chocolate on hand, we’d be set, eh Donna?
Right on, gals! Chocolate and wine make a lovely pair. Especially when the wine is served in such nice glasses. I, too, love my Reidel glasses. Cheers!
Love the consensus on Riedel. And even though the one pic shows us having potato chips with wine (ok, that was just weird), chocolate goes so much better!
I never knew how good chocolate could be with wine until I delved into the world of dark, dark chocolate… Oh yum.
That is cool! Yep, I’m jealous… LOL.
I could hire out as a wine pourer, eh Susan? ha ha
Ha ha, Susan! Someday I am heading to the west coast and touring some of those vineyards you write about. We can meet up and I’ll pour for you!
I have seen this in action….she doesn’t even TRY to make them even!
What a claim to fame for me to have, eh?
