The Impulse Buy - Wine

There are a few events over the next few days which require wine.  After doing a few other things on my to-do list, I headed to the bottle shop.  I should add here that I am exhausted and in no fit state to be making decisions.  I'm not sure yet if the sales assistants could tell this or not.

I walked in, and there was a wine-tasting table set up.  It's very rare for me to accept a free taste of something ('very rare' in that I can't remember the last time this happened), so I surprised myself by accepting a taste.  There were 3 whites available from Taylors' Promised Land - a something blanc (I'm tired, ok?), an unwooded chardonnay, and a Moscato.  I'm a bit over the first 2 options, so went for the Moscato.  Lightly spritzed, it was rather tasty.  Oh, I should also explain my wine taste buds: I'm a bit more advanced than red wine versus white wine, but not by a lot.  I'm not one of those 'mm blackberry overtones' people. 

I often see the sign in this store indicating the cheaper price for a 6 bottle buy.  I have always resisted buying 6.  Today though I decided (again, brain-addled) to go for the 6 bottle discount.  On the upside, I saved a considerable amount of money.  Note for next time:  not such a great idea if you already have a couple of bags of shopping and are catching a train home.   And no, not a super photo but there are more important things today!

Today's photo:

One of the reasons for my lack of sleep is organising viola parts for a quartet gig tomorrow.  Add to that the music I need for my school ensemble's competition tomorrow, and the music I need for Sunday's gig, and my living room is awash with paper.

  2. The only online options I've come across seem to want to keep delivering *way* more wine than I can drink (unless I turn alcoholic or have a quartet night twice a week...) but I will check it out! Thanks :)
