I’m back, and what did I drink on vacation?
Wine mostly. Why? Well, you know the old adage about what to do when in Rome. I might as well have been in Rome over the weekend. Clearlake, California isn’t exactly Napa Valley, but it’s close enough, I mean really close.
And sometimes you just need to cleanse your pallet and offer up some new sensations to your good ol’ buds. Too much of a good thing can make you weary, so I’m all for pouring a bottle of good wine once-in-a-while.
There is another old adage, something about taking a lot of beer to make wine. It’s all true. However, since harvest is a few months off and wine makers are barrel sampling older vintages, there isn’t much beer drinking (by wine makers) going on right now.
All that to say that I spent the weekend tasting really big Zinfandels and Cabs instead of big IPAs.
I did find some good beers for purchase, and I’ll be sharing those with you soon. For now, just wanted to say thanks sticking with GrizzlyGrowler.com for all your craft beer conversation.
You guys are the best.
Prost,
GG
Well said sir. I open a bottle of $12 red wine once a quarter or so, to remember non-beer.
On Easter I quaffed one of my 16% barleywines, which is nothing like beer.
