If it’s monochrome, how do we know it’s blue?

Fort Cellars
Merlot 2012
Trader Joe’s
There’s a hint of vinegar on the cork and a medium-dark ruby color in the glass. The aroma of a crude red wine fills the air in the glass. Adding to the impression of a crude red wine is the dryish mouth feel of tannins, eventually leaving a semi-arid climate on the roof of the mouth. A more than bearable taste follows that. This is a classic table wine. A wine that’s not “refined” but ready for a tussle with a hearty bowl of stew and a chunk of bread torn from a long loaf. How would it stand up to a bowl of chili? The thought had never crossed my mind until now. Probably very well.

Dark Chocolate Chunk
and Almond Cookies
Trader Joe’s
If you don’t like sweets, you may like these. Or, if you want to curtail your intake of sweets for whatever reason, these may be a blessing. That’s not to say these are so bad you wouldn’t eat them. They’re actually good in their own way.

Mama Cozzi’s Chicken, Spinach & Garlic Pizza
The acid test for any food is whether your dog, if you have a dog, will lick your fingers and/or plate after eating something like this. I am glad to say a dog will lick your fingers, plate, mustache, lips, . . . – well let’s just stop here in the list of what your dog may lick.

Apothic Red
Wine
If you’re on your way to an event you may not have really wanted to go to, short on time, feeling guilty that you have nothing to bring with you, don’t want to bring the usual MGD, and are stopped in a convenient place along the way – like Walgreens – rest assured there are worse wines on that wine shelf. But that’s about all the rest there is to be had.

Not a great photo, but the metallic blue mirror-like quality of the water intrigues me. Who can explain people?
