Wine(o) of the Weak!

Let's pretend for a moment that because its June, that it is warm and sunny day, with perhaps a slight refreshing breeze. Let us pretend that even though it is June, that we are all not still wearing jeans, sweatshirts, and our winter coats. But alas, its is still cold, windy, and rainy. I know this is weather is to be expected for the Northwest, but seriously Mother Nature, you're fired!

Anyhoos, back to pretending. On a really hot day, once it starts to transittion from dusk to evening, sitting outside and enjoying the breeze with a glass of really cold sweet wine is just the thing to cool down. That's what the 2006 Blue Moon Reisling by Bridgeview is perfect for. Its a Southern Oregon wine that is actually sweeter than even most other rieslings. Normally I wouldn't like that, but the blend of flavors in this one meld just right. Plus, at $8.95 a bottle you can't go wrong!

Remember to chill the glass too, like you would with beer. That will keep it cooler longer for maximun refreshment. Or just go ghetto and throw a few cubes of ice in there! I won't judge.

Cheers!
