Yesterday I went to the VA Wine Festival with one of my best friends S. I hadn’t been to one in a long time, so I was pretty excited to go again. Before the event, I printed out the tickets for us to go. If you ever have the chance to buy tickets before an event, do it. The lines to buy tickets was ridiculous, and we were able to bypass them by pre-purchasing our tickets.
We had some good, bad, and ugly wines. Our favorites was from Villa Appalaccia called “Allegra.” It was this sparkling white wine with a crisp taste. We couldn’t get enough of it. We then loved “Noche” from Cooper Vineyards. It is a dessert wine with the smell and taste of chocolate. After that, we headed to Virginia Mountain Vineyards and tasted this wine called “Holiday Spice.” It reminded me of the holidays. Of course, I bought one of each. I also bought and extra of the “Holiday Spice” for my parents.
During the festival, I got reacquainted with someone from my past. This can be a good or a bad thing. This time it was good. He is still as cool and fun as ever. S. even liked him, so I was happy with that. After tasting way too many wines, S. and I ate crab-cake sandwiches. I don’t know if it was because I was hungry or not, but they were damn good. They also had Lobster Mac & Cheese, but we didn’t eat any of it. Overall, I had a wonderful time. S. and I talked about our lives, I saw my old friend, and I got some tasty wines.
I hope that I am able to hang out with S. more because I hate how I never get to see my friends anymore. Let’s hope that I get to see her and my old friend more than a few times a year.
