Wine in July

Normally this time of the month I put up a summary of all the wines I tasted and noted during the past month.  Nearly all of those wines are documented at The Grand Crew.

I had a number of outstanding wines last month, but remarkably didn’t take notes on any of them.  Why?  They were all enjoyed with friends, and I don’t typically take notes when having wine out with my wife or with friends, as the experience of sharing wine with people you like always inflates how good the wine tastes.  I typically take notes when drinking at home (usually with J), where we taste and compare our thoughts on the wine.

There’s a lesson there – drink wine with loved ones and friends, and the wine tastes better.
