Wine & I

I'd like to reflect on the night that I first found a red wine that I enjoyed. A couple of months ago, a few of us girls decided to have a girls night which would include a bottle of wine (or three) and a chick flick. Our movie of choice was Magic Mike. What else would we watch when the movie was fresh out on blue ray and we had a 52 inch flat screen TV with surround sound? Exactly, Magic Mike. 

So on this magical night after a stressful week of work, the three of us girls decided to relax with a chilled bottle of Biltmore wine and enjoy the viewing pleasure of Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, and Joe Manganiello. One thing lead to another and before we knew it we had polished off three bottles of wine. The first was Biltmore's White Zinfendel, a white homemade wine and lastly a D'Asti Moscato white wine (shipped from Italy). 

Before this point, I had never really enjoyed wine. I had only been exposed to boxed wine and my experiences weren't pleasant. On this wonderful night, when I finally tasted the D'Asti Moscato white I was extremely surprised. It was the most delicious thing to have ever graced my mouth. From that point on, I have been searching for great tasting wines at decent prices. This is what lead me to this blog, and my strange obsession with wine. So now you know, how it all started. This leads me to my point. I will be continuing on this search and including everything I find on here, including the great prizes and nasty finds.  So far nothing has been nearly as great as the Italian wine, but trust me when I say I'm not giving up.
