As I'm sure many readers out there were sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to know my thoughts on my Vouvray with creamy pasta meal, alas, you won't be let down. Unfortunately the cheapest Vouvray in town* ($9) wasn't as good as my cheaper one, but overall it was a pretty decent combo. It was just lacking some acidity which would have been nice. A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc may have gone better with the chicken fettuccine alfredo.

Other than that it was a fun night of approaching random girls on the street with my fellow CCer's new-found confidence. Nothing to write home about, but still a good time. The art of meeting women is a far more mysterious thing than that of fermented grape juice, my friends. While I thrive at useless knowledge and physics exams, those same skills almost destroy my chances at ever reproducing. It will be a sad day when Idiocracy is seen as the greatest profit of our time.

Tomorrow will bring peace and prosperity as I roam this baren desert in search of truth, and some pointy boots, and maybe even a few games of wine pong. If anyone can name that reference please post it in the comments and you'll win my greatest... gratitude.

Wine Nerd Notes: The wine was the Marchais 2006 Vouvray. I didn't mind it, but I wouldn't really recommend it either. Another funny thing that happened today is I checked corkd.com to see if that Tres Pinos wine that I bashed was rated on there. It only had one rating - a 93 - which is absolutely absurd. I gave it a 65, so now it's a 79. I saved countless lives with that one.
