Sideshow No. 1 – Queen Roma Chardonnay
Today’s wine is a bottle I opened in honor of the television
show Carnivale (it ran from 2003-2005).
My husband stumbled on it while surfing for new shows on Amazon Prime’s
Roku channel. The first episode was
B-O-R-I-N-G until the last three minutes.
Then we were hooked.
It’s tough finding shows to watch together. He likes documentaries and situational
comedies. I like most anything that
isn’t real, or certain types of shows on the history or travel channel. We watch a lot of American Pickers.
This one has enough fantasy elements to keep me engaged, and
enough “real” people for him. A nice
glass of wine and some popcorn is helpful, too.
There’s some irony that I make part of my living in the
world of fantasy (have you purchased your copy of my novel, Retribution, yet?),
but I’m married to someone who has no idea what a Storm Trooper is. And don’t ask him about the Lord of the
Rings, he’ll go on a thirty-minute rant about “when did those little guys with
ugly feet go to the bathroom?”
At the very least, it keeps life interesting.
This Chardonnay is decent, especially at $6.00. The oak isn’t too strong and it’s got points
for a fun bottle. You’ll find some
fruits on the front. Lately heavily
oaked Chardonnay has been giving me a headache.
Not so with this one. Just enough
oak to fulfill the flavor with no funny side effects.
Give this one a go for a weeknight evening at home.
