Had the pleasure of attending an exquisite winetasting on Friday held by the Matanzas Creek winery, some winery all the way from my adopted hometown, San Francisco. It was exquisite because of so many things going right, cannot pick out anything wrong.
The pours were extra generous. The wine itself was not that bad. I especially enjoyed their Chardonnay. There was no pressure to buy. Sometimes you get that feeling when you attend a wine tasting at some winery, they start to tell you where you can purchase it or how much it or ask "so how many bottles will you be getting?" There was no pressure here at all. They actually had delectable type hor's d'oeuvres to go with it, served by the most charming of servers. You could actually feed on these light nibbles and skip out a real dinner for awhile. And it was not cheeses and crackers, such nonsense childish food. It was actually specialty prepared food: Tuna tartare, clams and oysters type deal. Very friendly wine staff. very friendly. Then, the catch, it was absolutely free. Even the parking.
What's not to love about an event where you can get your drink on, eat, meet interesting people, chat about love of food and wine on a Friday evening.
This is the 2nd Friday in a row I've had an awesome time. Better not make it a habit.
