New Wine

So my "wine Journal" takes up way too much time (translation: I consume too much wine to keep up with documenting what I think of it) so I decided just to blog about it using pictures. I used to keep the name/year, etc. or rip the label and add comments. Now, I can just take a mobile pic and comment here. Blah blah blah! On to the good stuff...
So, I was a sweet wife today (as always), and decided to to hit up The Fresh Market for some goodies on the night before Thanksgiving to cook a great meal for my husband to tell him how thankful i am for him. I went to the wine store and discussed many wines with the sommelier (boy who works there and always tells me what wine to try). He told me to try this






wine with dinner tonight when I told him we were having steak. He described it as a cab but if you were to strip all of the bite off of it. "I'm in", I told him. I ended up with 4 other bottles as well that I will write about later. One of the most surprising was what he suggested for fried turkey, which is what we are eating for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, I am very thankful for my husband. I am especially thankful for my family. I love them with all of my heart and am lucky to be able to say that my parents are my best friends, I hold hold them nearest and dearest to my heart. I am thankful for my friends. I have a broad arrangement of personalities as friends, and I couldn't love that more. The more friends, the better. I love you, you know who you are.
I am blessed for the Lord who loves me, the family around me and the roof over my head. Last but not least, as silly as it may sound and as silly as some of you think I am, I thankful for my pets. My cat has been through 13 years of my messy life and has seen a lot more than many. I love him for that. And my dogs, Puddin' and Mako, I couldn't ask for more kind souls. They have brought so much joy to my life, I have never met something sweeter. Animals are our best friends, we are everything to them, and they express that on a daily basis.

I'm tired. Thanks for listening. To all a goodnight!!
