Back from the dead...

It’s been a long time since I’ve written about wine.  A bunch of factors have contributed to my lack of posts in the last six weeks or so, but for the most part, the reason I haven’t written about wine is that I just haven’t been drinking wine recently.  I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had wine in the last six weeks. 

The reason I haven’t been drinking wine is two-fold.  First of all, it’s been so freaking hot recently that red wine hasn’t sounded refreshing at all and I’m not enough of a white wine enthusiast to frequently choose to drink it over beer or soft drinks.  Secondly, I’ve been a little upset with wine since the heat ruined some of my nice bottles of wine before I could drink them.  That bitter taste in my mouth has taken a long time to wear off, but as cooler weather approaches (hopefully), my interest in wine is returning.

So, in the coming days, I’m going to write about my two interesting experiences with wine in the past six weeks.  The first of which was in Idaho where I tried local Idaho wine and got to enjoy several wonderful meals with great friends.  My second adventure was a tasting day in Temecula.  I know I’ll come off sounding like a snob in this post, but it was a good day and there were some good stories from the trip.

So, now that I’m officially back, look for me to post with regularity for the next few months.
