Matt and I had a little something to celebrate yesterday – six years together! But due to scheduling, we didn’t even see each other yesterday. We actually plan to celebrate this weekend, but decided a little weekday wine was in order. Enter the Funf.
I’ve had this bottle of wine for 3+ years. Oops. When I was at Davidson, Matt and I liked to walk across the street to the wine bar and order this riesling. This is when my love for German riesling was born. Once I graduated, we bought a bottle to take with us to remember our little wine bar. It was a big deal back then because this was a $20 bottle. Even now, we only buy bottles in the $7 to $10 range at Trader Joes! Anyway, I think we let it age waayyy past it’s prime. It tasted more like apple juice up front, but was still really good on the finish.

October 14, 2011 at 2:16 amHappy anniversary! Wow, six years. I’ve never committed to anything that long, not even university! Hope you guys enjoy your celebrations this weekend.
I wanted to ask your advice – a friend and I are planning a bit of a road trip around the southern US next year, have you got any particular recommendations? My only two places I must go are New Orleans and Orlando (I really want to go to Harry Potter World!!).

I would recommend Charleston or Savannah and maybe somewhere in the mountains – Asheville, NC is a cute place to visit. Are you headed west of New Orleans? – would definately recommend Austin, TX or AZ.

Have you seen these photos? http://joshuadrakephotography.wordpress.com/
I read this photographer’s blog (he shot my friends wedding a few months ago and I was hooked) and I was surprised to see a familiar face! I found your blog via kath’s of course.
