This weekend is Dragon Con.
Wish me luck. Despite COVID
protocols, I’m planning on attending and enjoying my nerdiness for a few
days. Usually, these days include a
couple of fabulous meals at restaurants with amazing wine lists. Watch my Facebook page and the Anne Schlea
Instagram for updates on any jewels I find along the way.
If all goes according to plan, there will be a trip to the
Aquarium for Dragon Con Night, a couple of writers panels, and some learning
along the way. I love this weekend and
missed it last year. Despite being
scaled back, I’m glad to have the opportunity this year.
Another adventure is this wine. South African wines are growing on me, and
this one in particular is very nice.
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon coming out of Wellington, South
Africa, it’s a complex wine. The tannins
are nicely rounded, giving the wine a nice mouthfeel.
Flavors of leather, oak, and blackberry rise to the
forefront of this wine. Part of me
wishes I’d saved this bottle for a cold, winter’s evening. It’s a bit too heavy for the heat of summer
outside (it’s 90 degrees outside as I write this). If you come across the bottle, keep it for
October and an evening by the fireside.
