Monday Funday

My favorite wine store sends out an email blast every Monday about a particular wine they have on sale that week. Since I typically have Mondays off, it's not unusual for me to schedule work on my car for a Monday. The shop is right down the street from the wine store. They have free wifi so I can check my email easily while I wait for my car. You see where this is going. 

This week I did not have to take my car in, but I did get the email and I was able to stop by today. This week's offering is an Oregon Pinot noir, described as a "sleek red, with delicate layers of cherry, tobacco, and cocoa flavors." Wine spectator gave it 90 points, which is exceptionally rare for a Pinot noir at this price (usually $23.99, on sale until it's gone at $15.99). 

I enjoy a nice Pinot noir and this shop hasn't let me down with their wines of the week yet. I picked up a bottle of that and a nice Australian Riesling while I was there (Australia makes Riesling. Who knew?).

I will enjoy them both in good time.
