Wine Tasting for Friday

For those of you who know me, wine is a bit of a passion of mine so we've been doing a wine tasting on the Friday of Nukestock for the last few years.  However, on some years, it's ended up being more of a wine guzzling and the nuances of tasting fly out the window the more we drink. Natch.

This year, we'll take a very different approach, one to avoid getting completely clattered and two to share with you a new technique I learned recently in an International Wine class I've been taking through the HRTM program at NMSU. Trust me: if you really want to appreciate a wine, this technique is remarkable and actually got the designer of it knighted by the Belgian government!

We'll start a 7:00 pm, proceeded by pot luck dishes. As we will be sampling wines, both red and white, sweet and dry, I ask people to post replies to this blog entry, letting us know what you might bring to share.  No need to bring wines for the tasting; I'll provide all of the bottles for this event. A personal request would be for some people to bring some low carb appetizers. Many of us are avoiding carbs for health reasons (blood sugar, diabetic, etc) so the more of these types of treats, the better.

Okay, that's all for now!
