I Wonder If I Am Drinking the Right Wine With My Meals?
It’s Friday and lunchtime is fast approaching. It’s been a very long week at work, quite stressful and really, really busy.
I am now counting down the hours to the weekend and that will mean a a few bottles of wine will be consumed.
Well if the truth be told, it’s normally a few bottles on a Friday, then a few more on Saturday and unfortunately just the one on Sunday. Unfortunately I have to be up bright and early for work on Monday, ready for another busy week at the office.
I am still a bit of an amateur when it comes to choosing the right wine and I will admit to sometimes getting it wrong. I know every now and then I serve a white when it should be a red.
For Friday’s dinner I was thinking about dishing up a nice cut of steak. To accompany this I think I should be choosing a nice Cabernet Sauvignon. However my predicament is I am an absolute lover of any sort of Shiraz, so perhaps I should get a couple of bottles of this.
I am organising a nice buffet at my house this Saturday as we are having a family party. I find that when I host a party at my house my family never seem to bring their own wine with them, so I always end up having to get extra supplies in. My absolute favourite wine is Cava, so I will definately buy some of this. My dilemma will be should I get Rosado Cava or Reserve Cava, or perhaps, as it’s a big event, I should just get a case of each.
On Sunday night it will just be the two of us and I think after such a heavy weekend of drinking that we will probably just snuggle on the settee with a cup of tea.
Well that sounds like another weekend done and dusted. It will soon be Monday morning again, which means the alarm will be buzzing nice and early ready for another stressful week at work. Oh roll on Friday.
