Hello Everyone! I hope you have had a great weekend! I was privileged to see a group of military paratroopers graduate from the Airborne course at Fort Benning, GA on Friday. It was incredible to see a group of people who endured several weeks of intense training, who really dug deep, and who excelled at what they did to become graduates of that course. My boyfriend’s daughter was one of those who graduated – she is one tough lady!! Congratulations Jessica!! We stopped back in Atlanta and enjoyed lunch at The Corner Grille. The food and the staff there were great, so a definite place to go in the College Park area. I had a Chardonnay with my lunch…imagine that. It was the Belcreme De Lys Chardonnay from the California Central Coast. I neglected to catch the year. I’m like some reporters – I don’t fully investigate the story I report. The label said it had hints of vanilla, baked apple and crème brulee. I did get the hint of vanilla, but also a slight citrus taste as well. I paired it with Cajun pasta although I wondered if a bold red might have been better with it. Nonetheless, this was a pretty good light-bodied Chardonnay that I’d recommend with lighter foods. I did a quick check of…The Google…and found you can buy it at Total Wines for around $9.00 per bottle. Have an outstanding week and thank a soldier!!
A great blend of wine and wisdom
