My manager at work hosted his second wine tasting party this evening. We were a little late for it because Jake had to march in the Veteran’s Day parade in downtown Johnstown. Hardly anyone from his cub scout pack showed up for it so I’m glad we didn’t skip it. The parade was probably twice as big as the Columbus Day parade he marched in. It was nice to see all of the people downtown even though it was raining.
Anyway, my parents took Jake out to eat at the Szechwan afterwards and Brian and I went to the wine tasting party. This has got to be my favorite type of party to attend. I don’t know why people aren’t hosting these things on a monthly basis. I guess we’re overdue to have one, but I’m holding out until Brian builds a bar for our family room (it made the “short list” today, by the way). As usual, when large amounts of wine are made available and consumed, we had a great time this evening. We had to cut out a little early because my parents had some things to do this evening, plus Brian scheduled band practice for 8pm. But, I made the most of my time and got to try a number of new wines. The winner of the evening was a Steele Zinfandel. I’m definitely going to have to try some more wines from that winery.
