Kevin and I were drinking er, tasting wine as we were waiting for him to cook me dinner…. (please note that this post was written before my self-imposed exile from the fruit of the vine. I am relatively certain that I can hold out THIS long)

Yes, I have a husband that cooks and I feel the pang of your jealousy. But as he is currently “exploring new options” I am going to take advantage of the time that I ma not required to cook every single night. And yes, he fixes me breakfast and lunch most days too.

But that isn’t what this piece is about.

It is about a wine that we received in a shipment from the Fox Valley Winery. A Vignoles from Illinois.

Kevin handed it to me before I saw the bottle. It smelled of heavy ripe pears and tasted of warm honey with a pleasantly sharp citrus finish. It was fruity and mellow and lovely.

Sigh.

Oh, I guess we better feed the kids, eh?
