Wednesday’s Wine

Last night, after I put Ava down to bed, I opened a wine that used to be one of my favorites.  Back when I was single, I would have a glass of this almost every night while watching CSI repeats.  I haven’t had it in several years and when I saw it at the store last week, I decided to revisit it for “Wednesday’s wine.”  What makes “Wednesday’s Wine” special, is that Scott is gone Wednesday evenings playing tennis.  It is my “me” night to open whatever wine I want, read gossip magazines or blogs, and not cook dinner.  So, the Cline Viognier, of my yester-year was a perfect pick. 
 

I love me a good viognier.  The body of a chardonnay, the sweet, fruity bouquet, with a dry finish.  The taste of peach and apricot took me right back to sitting in my condo and watching Grissom solving a murder on the strip in Vegas. 
These days I enjoy red wine so much more than whites, so I won’t be drinking this as often, but I sure will pick it up again for some of these hot evenings when a white sounds good.  I also think this is a wine that would be a good crowd pleaser.  It will satisfy both the sweeter wine lovers and the chardonnay and dry wine drinkers. 
On my “TO DO” list for today:

• Bootcamp!
• Laundry for trip
• Start packing
• Make dessert for our dinner party tomorrow night
• Make homemade popsicles with our new popsicle molds.  :-)  (Thanks for the ideas Estela.)
• Stay in a/c as much as possible   (Heat advisory warnings – 113 degrees today!)
