Went to a wonderful dinner party last night. And I'm not usually a fan of these kinds of nights. But this one was spent dining under the stars in a truly beautiful garden. Good food, new friends and out of this world cookies. The hosts are heavily involved in the historic town we live in and it was interesting to hear them talk about the history of the homes and people in the area. A very nice way to spend the evening.
And, of course, there was wine.
Ménage À Trois by Folie À Deux has been on a long list of wines to review for my "Cheap Wine with a Pretty Label" series. So I was thrilled to see a guest bring it to the party. The label isn't all that interesting, but I still wish I had taken the picture earlier in the night (the caption under this image should read "hurry and take the photo before my hand catches on fire"). The name is catchy and led to dinner conversations about things I had no idea were happening in my neck of the woods.
The wine? Frankly, I was surprised by how much I liked it. Actually, everyone at the party mentioned how much they enjoyed it. Very, very good. And as my husband said, "wine always tastes better when you share it with a group of friends".
We had a bottle of that at our picnic today too!!
