The Wine Bottle

It’s coming up to Friday lunchtime. This week seems to have been very long and busy.

I am now counting down the hours to the weekend and that will mean a a few bottles of wine will be consumed.

I normally drink a few bottles on Friday, then have another couple on Saturday and then just one on Sunday. Unfortunately on a Monday morning I have to be up bright and early ready for another busy week at work.

I will admit I have been drinking for a few years, however when it comes to choosing the right wine, I am still a bit of an amateur. I know every now and then I serve a white when it should be a red.

Now for Friday night dinner, I was thinking about serving up a nice piece of steak. To accompany this I think I should be choosing a nice Cabernet Sauvignon. However my predicament is I am an absolute lover of any sort of Shiraz, so perhaps I should get a couple of bottles of this.

Saturday night is a big family celebration this week and I am going to be laying on a nice finger buffet at my house. The problem with having the party at my house is that probably my family won’t be bringing any wine, so that means I will have to buy extra. Cava is my absolute favourite wine, so I will probably buy some of this. My dilemma will be should I get Rosado Cava or Reserve Cava, or perhaps, as it’s a big event, I should just get a case of each.

When Sunday night comes along, it will just be the two of us and I think just for this week, we will not be drinking alcohol and will enjoy an evening on the sofa with a nice hot drink.

Well that will be another weekend done and dusted. Soon it will be Monday morning and the alarm will be buzzing nice and early, heralding the start of another busy week at work.  Oh roll on Friday.
