Day 237 Dec.01, 2012

Merlot:

This is a local wine, and I have decided to try it out - by myself. I needed to assess the wine to see if other people (i.e. Barbie) would find it palatable to their tastes.

Personally I don't mind taking the more bitter or dry wines, though I will have to admit that taking the sweeter variants make drinking easier. It also does not automatically mean that the dry variants are stronger in alcoholic content.

I also know the idea that wine is the healthy form of alcohol so long as it is taken in moderation... to me that means two goblets at most a day - though I have to say that my goblet (as this picture can show) is rather large, and though I have not had the real reason to test it out, I found out that a bottle of wine is basically made of four goblets full, so technically, I can, by following my earlier statement, finish a bottle of wine in two days. But as my reasoning states, I actually got this particular bottle done in one night.

So how did I find this wine? I found it to be slightly sweet... but it has a kick. Chances are, I will definitely go back and purchase some more... and yes, I'm proud that it happens to be a local wine.
