Flame Lily

Last night I took a break from studying to have a low key Saturday night of Chinese food, wine and a romantic comedy with two of my friends Kat & Nazi. Sometimes a girl just needs to escape with her girls into a world of ridiculousness and romance. Where a guy sings to you at a wedding and tells the whole world that you hooked up, nothing says romance like that. 

I have failed with the wine as of late. I went a whole month without a single glass *gasp* so here goes my attempt at a wine review!  

Flame Lily Pinot Noir was the wine of the night. With an aroma of cherries with hints of tobacco, wood and honey; it started off promising. It goes down as standard pinot noir, with a savoring of full more sour than sweet grapes. But the aftertaste was bitter, reminiscent of lead and moldy pine resin. And the aftertaste haunts you for hours. While the flame lily flower is also called a Gloriosa, this was not so glorious. A good Pinot Noir pairs well with Mongolian beef, just not this one. So stay away my friends.

Sorry I couldn't help myself. 

I also like the name of Red Fern for Blue Ivy's brother as suggested by Joan Rivers.
