Vino errr... Tasting (?)
D&Me, K8, PJ, and I went to a wine tasting this past weekend at Winestyles. We have been talking about doing this forever so I think we were a little too excited. Tasting, Schmasting. It was closer to a party.
Just to get a visual:

It is crazy because for something that is 15% alcohol, it tastes EXACTLY LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK (with a kick). I brought it to a dinner party that night, but alas, K8 discovered its most legitimate purpose- DESSERT. We poured it on a little vanilla gelato, namely:
Talenti, by the way, is amazing in its own right. We had this combo over D&Me's house while watching Saturday night football. True story: It was so amazing, that even baby Ellis in her Georgia cheerleader uniform enjoyed! I didn't judge. (I mean the cheerleading uniform, not the indulgence). And neither should you.
