How can I be blogging for four years and not have a “booze” topic? I’ve obviously been leaving some stuff out.
I never used to drink alcohol. I had no objections to it, I just hated the taste of it. Then I started drinking the odd cider (the Okanagan Springs sweet stuff), and when I met Greg I started drinking beer. I think I was trying to impress him, and in the process realized I actually liked it.
From there both of us branched out into wine, and although we have no idea how to really taste a wine, we can definitely give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. We keep meaning to keep track of the ones we like, and there are a few we can remember, but mostly we just wing it. Funnily enough the bottles ALWAYS get finished.
And somewhere along the line I discovered my drink. Strongbow. There was a short stopover on Merridale Traditional Cider, but for the past two years I’ve been pretty committed. And now that I’ve made the switch, I can’t imagine drinking an Okanagan Springs. Eeeew.
So I sit here, drinking my Strongbow that my mother-in-law so kindly purchased for me, enjoying the mild buzz it’s giving me, and fully admit that I am now an avid consumer of alcohol.
