My mental paradise.....

I have not been blogging much lately. I am on a diet to lose weight and am applying ALL my energy to not eating! Tonight the temp. is -21.6 Celsius. I am cold. I am sick to death of winter. And most of all, I am hungry! Physically I may be in a frozen hell, but mentally I am on the beach in LLanes Asturias. The sun is so warm that I am almost sweating. I am drinking Albariño wine and eating tuna empanadas, spanish tortilla and cabrales cheese with spanish ham. I may be fat in my frozen hell , but wow I am skinny in my mental paradise!

Wine makes life better!

I love wine. I adore wine. I am passionate about wine. Too bad that I don't know anything about wine! I do know what I like and don't like though... and I like Rioja, I like it a lot! This particular bottle is a 2004 Faustino. I have had it in my wine cabinet for a year or so but Id guess that its around 15 US dollars give or take (mas o menos) I would best describe the taste as light blackberry jam with a hint of crisp apple. The color of this vino is unbelievable, almost like a port. Its hard to explain ..... but I would recommend this wine easily. Spanish reds rock! Unfortunately with the Euro going strong and the US dollars value equivalent to Monopoly money (the game) Spanish wines are going to go up in price. Buy a bottle today , treat yourself. Life is short.
