Nah, not a vlog, unfortch.

This weekend was absolutely beautiful, with sunshine and warm weather and Gallery Hop on Saturday! Gallery Hop is an event that happens the first Saturday of every month here in the Short North. Art galleries, food, and shopping attract everyone from the city to the burbs to come down and crowd the neighborhood just south of mine for a few blocks. Trent and I walked down and did dinner first at Happy Greek, and then spent most of the night at Camelot Cellars sampling wines. $5 for five glasses of wine, your choice. It was lovely! I sampled four white and one "dessert" wine. Being the red wine snob Trent is, I believe he sampled five red only and of course wanted a bottle of the most expensive one *rolls eyes*. Being that I'm such a wine connoiseur I promised myself that I would take notes and chronicle them somewhere for future reference for when I have the money to stock our bar with alll the wines I love. Here were my favorite, which are all bottled in-house at CC (yay, won't have to order online):

1. White zinfandel - My mom would drink this when I was young. Perhaps she is the reason why I drink "frou frou" white wines, which are typically sweeter and lower in alcohol content. White zin is something that I could drink upon waking or right before bed, which is when I prefer to drink anyway ;) It's crisp, light, and sweet, perfect for any time of day IMO.
2. Blueberry pinot noir - This was the "dessert" wine. It was very berry and sweet, yet fuller than most wines I like. It had no dryness or bitterness. I can see why this is considered a dessert wine, you just could not drink this with dinner. Would be too overpowering. This is something I'd definitely like to have in my collection though for when I'm chilling with my girls and drinking wine. It's a perfect girly wine IMO with a fantastic flavor.
3. Washington riesling - This was a medium white with a sweet fruity taste. They say to pair Washington riesling with spicier pork dishes. I don't eat much pork but next time I order Kung Pao pork at my favorite oriental restaurant I will remember to have a glass of riesling with.
4. Sonoma chardonnay - This was a sweet, citrusy wine with a hint of something like oak that dries it a bit. I remember thinking that this would be great with the light tilapia and veggie dinners I love to cook.
5. Sauvignon blanc - So, so light and sweet. A bit too light for me. Would be great if you don't like the more complex taste of most wines. The one great thing about sauvignon blanc is that it pairs well with a lot of foods I love. Sushi. Chicken. Veggies. Being that I'm more of a lounge wine drinker than a dinner wine drinker, it ends up last on my list of faves.

After having a great time at Gallery Hop, Trent and I passed on going to the bars in favor of visiting friends we hadn't seen in a while. We chilled, chatted, and drank Trent's vieux chateau de roi red. Our friends just got back from visiting family in Vegas and talked about going back around Trent's birthday. Sooo now Trent and I have tentative plans to go to Vegas in late June. We've been talking about it for forever but I think that planning is finally in the works!

My boyfriend has been bitten by the Spring bug as of late. Therefore he's up before I am everyday going tanning and working out. The best thing about this is that now, when I want to go to the mall and have no one to go with, he's down for it. Also, he was looking a bit Casper-like so I am loving his melanin boost. I freaking love warm weather!
