Our Wine Line http://www.ourwineline.com Enjoying wine on a relatively small budget! :) Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:20:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 en Riesling http://www.ourwineline.com/riesling/ http://www.ourwineline.com/riesling/#comments Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:20:51 +0000 admin http://www.ourwineline.com/riesling/ Tonight we enjoyed a Washington State Riesling with some peal and eat shrimp and a seafood diablo.  

The interesting thing to me is how well it goes with spicy seafood.  When drinking wine with food it is all about how it compliments the food.   With a spicy entree most wines would just make your mouth burn but the Riesling just compliments the flavor and has a more cooling effect than a glass of water.  

Seafood in Key Largo with a bottle of Riesling and some easy going live music on the deck while the sun sets.  It doesn’t get much better than that.

Better than that is the opportunity to share it with good friends!

Saturday night was one of those times. We are Realtors and sold the home of two very good friends. As a closing gift we bought a bottle of Opus One and went up to visit them at their new home in Atlanta for the weekend. Saturday night we popped the cork on the 2004 version of Opus and had a glass before going out. It lived up the expectations you would have for the famous Bordeaux style wine of the Mondavi and Rothschild joint venture. The last bottle I had was 4 years ago, also a closing gift for this same couple on a different house. It tasted just like I remembered! Wow!

To top it off we went out for the evening to a greek restaurant (more…)

Wine without the company of my wife and friends would just be wine. Wine with my wife and friends is a relaxing time spent listening to music, having good conversation, sharing a great meal, or watching a ballgame, race, or some other event that can be enjoyed together.
