Ode to the Bean

How (Why) do I love Thee....

Let me count the ways...

10. Because you came back for me.
9. Because you showed me there was more to life than the Poconos.
8. Because you loved me when I was young and bitchy.
7. Because you loved me when I was still bitchy and a little more curvy.
6. Because you taught me to love WINE!
5. Because you brought me into your family.
4. Because you accepted the wackiness of my family.
3. Because you brought cats into my life.
2. Because you have unwavering faith me.
1. Because you are you.

Happy 10th Anniversary!

Tomorrow I will attempt to recount our lovely 10th anniversary which included going back to the first place we ever went on a date together.

Columbia Crest Chardonnay

Hey there!  Welcome to Mental Notes.  I spend a lot of my time thinking about all the great beer and wine that I have drunk over the years and then promptly forget about them (probably due to their alcohol content)!

So the first item that I'm going to talk about is Columbia Crest Chardonnay.  I'm a big fan of white wine in the summer time and this Chardonnay really delivers.  It's crisp yet smooth and buttery.  It has a delicious finish that hints at vanilla.  This Chardonnay doesn't have the huge overpowering flavor of some Chardonnays and would easily pair with a nice chicken and pasta dish or a vegetarian dish with an olive oil sauce.

Thanks for stopping by.  Keep your eyes open for a lot more delicious food, wine, beer and whatever else crosses my mind!
