MIA or climbing back up from falling off the face of the earth...

Well, I am not going to lie, Betty has always been more computer savvy than I. Do not lose faith, I have read "Idiot's Guide to Blogging" Chapter 1 and I now feel adept enough to thrust my thoughts upon you. Not that my thoughts are anything exciting to you, unless of course you enjoy cheap wine and reruns of 'Sex and the City.'

Speaking of cheap wine... My significant other, Archie, turned me on to an amazing store called World Market, which happened to be having a sale on (my favorite) red wine! (Cheap wine even cheaper!) Archie loves Chardonnays too, so we stocked up on a few of our faves... (1 Cab, 2 Shiraz, 2 Chards, and a Riesling in a black cat bottle to add to our Halloween decorations.) Upon further exploration of the store I stumbled across a fascinating discovery! GERMAN APPLE WINE... My thought process, I like apples, I like wine, I've never been there but I hear Germany is nice, WE MUST TRY THIS WINE! Archie is in and we pay for our hoard of wine (which is good because the store closed 5 minutes ago.) And we scuttle home with our stash.

As we unpacked our collection we discussed which wine we should begin with. Cab? No. Shiraz? Eh... Apple Wine? Why yes, I love apple cider, I'm sure I would love apple wine.

We cooked our left overs for dinner, found a good movie, and poured our Apple Wine... And...

BLECK!!! IT WAS TERRIBLE!!!

Archie, somehow, finished half of the bottle, I could barely take 3 sips.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Enjoying wine is an acquired taste, enjoying Apple Wine requires lack of taste buds.
