As I noted in an earlier entry, this was an exhausting week. Fortunately there were no incidents at work that demanded my attention either Friday or today. I got a decent night's sleep –a fairly solid six hours– leaving me wanting for a bit more but feeling like I'm recovering. Today She Who Must Be Obeyed took her car in for service and we took off for a McDonald's breakfast followed by Saturday shopping at Target, Kohl's, lunch at Bruegger's Bagels and provisioning at Mustard Seed Market. The atmosphere was foggy all morning and the sky gray all day but there was no rain or snow falling. It was great to be out and about without the weight of any crisis or deadline. Just palling around with "She" for the day. The car needed little service and the mechanic was very pleasant to deal with — a positive experience. There was supposed to be an Observatory open night tonight but the solid overcast and expected snow caused me to cancel the event. {Ma Nature stepped in to slow me down a bit more.} So tonight we try out a veggie version of a Rachael Ray recipe, enjoy (I hope) a little local wine –"Redemption" from the Wolf Creek winery (beautiful location, okay wine), and kick back for a restful evening. Ahhhh…. time off!
Wine note: Yes, it's a "red table wine," and those tend to be mellow and sweet. Redemption has those characteristics plus a strong cherry flavor and ruby red color. Not a fine wine but it should go well with our "meat" loaf dinner! And isn't that what a "table wine" is about?

That is a very snazzy label!
The label is nice. Wolf Creek seems to recently have redesigned several of their labels and there are "snazzier" ones! Follow the link in the post and see their other label designs. Redemption turned out just as my initial taste noted with the cherry aroma and flavor being, in the end, quite strong. It went well with that particular dinner but there are other wines at about the same price that I like much better. Monkey Business zinfandel, for example, is the same price in our favorite store(s), has excellent fruit but is definitely not a "soda pop" wine. Redemption was fun to try, but I'll stick with Monkey Business. Hmmmm…. Monkey Business and then Redemption. Sounds like a morality tale! — JG
