my free weekends haven't started quite YET. i had a rehearsal for a church gig saturday morning, with teaching in the afternoon, and then the gig sunday morning. sunday afternoon j & i decided at the last minute to go back to wine country for wine tasting to figure out wine for our wedding reception. it was a mad dash through about 16 whites and just a few reds. there are so few affordable red wines that that was pretty easy to pick. however, the whites were another issue. we brought back 4 whites to try with friends, and have them help us decide. we ended up trying 5 whites, and 3 sparkling wines. thanks, trader joe's, for your excellent selection of frozen h'ors d'oeuvres - makes entertaining a snap!
