It's always a noteworthy experience when trying any wine for the very first time.
When that wine is French, old(er), shared with fellow oenophiles MJ and Angie, and paired with assorted cheeses...well, that's got to be one for the 'Firsts' list!
The wine was fantastic. I'm still working on my tasting skills, but got a lot of red fruit (without being overpowering), some vanilla, and balanced tannins.
It was a strange day weather-wise...it had rained most of the day, and looked quite like spring had come a few weeks early. Later that night, when I was leaving to head home, the winter wonderland had suddenly returned! Either way, it was a perfect day to stay in, sit by the fire, spend time with friends, and drink and talk wine.
