Courtney’s Wines: Austin
Alrighty, here’s a pic from Austin. We tried four wines and I got drunk. This means that I don’t understand what few notes I took nor do I remember any details about these bottles.
This bubbly worked but I’m not sure what grape it was. At one point a rather dark red one wasn’t werking particularly well but I think it may have been a blend of several grapes so useless to our cause here. I’ll do some research.
Hey look at this. The Paul Dolan Zin was the red. NOT a blend at all. I remember that it didn’t amplify the pain but it wasn’t like magic or anything. I did drink most of myy glass. Perhaps a Zin with maybe a thinner skin, less tannin will do the trick for keeping my wine red. I’ll see if there’s a cooler climate zinfandel grape being grown somewhere I’ll have access to. And hopefully fairly cheaply.
Okay this is some progress.
Also, so far my only spicy food pairing has been mexican. We are now in Atlanta and there’s a famous Indian restaurant here that I’ll try to get to before sndchk. Hope they have a hell of a wine list.
