Tonight I was planning to finish posting about my Thanksgiving trip, but I got sidetracked. Some of my friends at Curves invited me to go to Amazing Grapes for wine tasting. We worked out, so why not?? Amazing Grapes is a wine store and bar conveniently located next to our gym. They were conveniently having Ladies Night tonight and conveniently, we happen to be ladies. The store is intimate and cozy. Our host, Joe, looked like Howie Mandel and had about the same personality minus the silver cases.
The deal was this... a flight of three tastings for $2.00. Yes, $2.00! There were five of us, so we had a round of tastings, as well as an appetizer of hummus and gourmet nuts. The first was a chardonnay, the second was a sangiovese, and the third was a cab. Penny is not much of a drinker, so she was severely lagging behind the rest of us. Penny was only on the sangiovese when the rest of us had finished with the cab. Howie came back and "split" her taste of the cab amongst the four of us, which really meant that he just up topped up our glasses again for free!
Needless to say that it was a really fun evening... it's hard to beat good drinks with good friends and good conversations!
Now, where's my bed..............
