Gordon Eats

Friday night I went to a birthday celebration for a friend of mine at Onieals (warning: music on site) in Little Italy. There, I decided to try a glass of Stella Artois ($6). I wasn’t really expecting much but I liked it. It didn’t have a bitter alcohol taste and was quite pleasant to drink. I would’ve finished it if I wasn’t stuff from dinner right before. Also if it wasn’t getting late (I got home at 2:45 am). So, I’ve added it on my very short list of alcoholic drinks I actually like (Guinness is the only other drink on the list). I also tried my friends Samuel Adams which had some spices in it which made it taste quite tasty. I would also add it to my list if I could remember what exactly the drink was called.

On to last night with a glass of red wine.

I didn’t spill the wine.

Sunday dinner turning into my wine night. Though I need to get some proper food to go with the wine. I don’t think any wine goes the food from the guy on Chrystie street.

Take out container and forks in the background.

This red wine had (I’m going to use me poor skills of description here) a smoky taste. I’m not sure if that’s correct since the back label doesn’t really give too much info. I tried to find more info online and only came up with a description for a 2005 vintage:

“100% Cabernet Franc. Great herbal nose touched with cigar leaf. Medium bodied and elegant, with fresh blackberry, silky tannins, good acidity. Blood orange and rosemary round out the finish.” via [Amazing Grapes Wine Store]

I didn’t really like it. I don’t think it was bad but I didn’t think it was too good either.

I think one thing that still difficult for me to do is to get over the smell and bitterness of alcohol. At the same time I’m trying to sort out the different smells and tastes.

I don’t have any other drinks planned nor any other parties to go to soon so I’m not sure what I’ll be drinking next. But till then!
