Try the Brie……

So last time I said that I was going to write a blog about throwing my first wine party. Apparently I thought there was a lot to tell. I was wrong…..

Actually, this was my first attempt at having a “classy” (as in adult) get-together. You know, soft candles lit with smooth jazz music playing. Complete with smoked almonds, assorted crackers (my friends. HA!), and of course, the cheese. Multiple varieties, including 6 years aged cheddar, brie, havarti, gruyere, and bruchetta jack. Arsenio would have loved it. 

This is some good-ass cheese!

Plus everyone showed up dressed appropriately. I couldn’t have been more pleased. But the best part of the evening was indeed the wine. Everyone I invited brought at least one bottle for everyone to try. We were upwards of almost 20 bottles.

Most of the night became a blur after a while, but I’m sure everyone had a good time. When I woke up the next morning (on the couch), I had 9 empty bottles on the bar. I know some people took what was left of theirs home. I still had some of the 4 bottles I bought as well.

All in all, a fantastic time and a great idea, if I do say so myself. Hoping to do it again in January.

Hold on tight, everyone. My next blog involves a big change in my job. I’m going to nights, and I want to tell you all about it……Stay tuned.
