Doesn’t it figure?

I get a chance to try something unique wine-wise and I have no camera on me. or note pad.

We were finishing up basket for the evening. One of the girls is in the midst of a tournament.. on that will continue on to next weekend…sigh.

After the game we headed over to the house of friends that live near the high school hosting the tournament. We brought them a lovely Albarino that we had had during a 777 event at David Burke’s Primehouse…

We never got to crack it open though, because Tom had a bottle waiting for us. A German red wine! When it was poured, it reminded me of the German Pinot Noir’s that Kevin and I had seen at last year’s Pinot Days. But this wine held one more surprise for us.

It was sweet.

Not a cloying sweet that you sometimes get with German whites. But fruity and full with an earthy smell.

Now the bad part. Between chatting and playing with babies, I forgot to write down the name of the wine! D’oh! What was I thinking. Unfortunately, I can say that I wasn’t.

Mea culpa to you all out there! I let the fun overcome my sense wine bloggership.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
