![]() ![]() Go with friends! That's just because it's more fun! And a lot or wineries will have an amazing atmosphere, especially if the tasting room is on the property where the grapes are grown. What another person hates, you might love and vice versa! 3. NOTE: It is important to know that just because a winery may have a reputation for making good sweet reds or good dry whites does not mean they don't have good wines in general. The winery where I work currently has a strong showing of sweet wines, whereas some of the other wineries in the neighboring county have a better dry wine production. I live in Maryland, and my state has the wonderful nickname of "America in miniature." We have a lot of little microclimates, which change what kind of grapes work best in what region. Part of the reason I suggested you contemplate what kind of wine drinker you might be is because based on what your taste profile may be, you will want to start off with a winery that will match your palate. Not sure about about either? Most wineries offer middle-of-the-road wine styles that may be a little sweet, but not too dry either. Not a fan of sugar? They'll set up dry tasting. But you can probably narrow down what kind of flight you would want to try if you know what kind of drinks you like: do you have a sweet tooth? Are you more of a dirty martini kind of person? If you like sweet drinks, tell your server that. But Alexis, isn't the point of going to a winery to experience new wines? Well, yes. If you haven't ever been to a winery, and the most experience you have drinking it is at parties or Grandma's for holiday dinner, you should start your wine journey by figuring out what kind of wine you *might* gravitate to. Figure out what kind of wine drinker you might be. Part I of IV: advice for when you first start going out to wineries.ġ. Happy Holidays to all, and a happy New Year as well! I hope that with these holidays all of my friends and family get tons of love from their favorite people, and I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. And the best part is, they only come around in the wintertime, so they’re just that much better because they’re limited time only! Zillions of Hugs and Kisses Apple Cider is my favorite, as I’ve previously mentioned, but everything else is amazing, too. ![]() Yummy Holiday Drinks and DessertsĮggnog, hot chocolate, fruitcake and cookies are some very delicious things to eat and drink during the holidays. Turns out, X is the Greek letter “chi,” the initial letter in the word Χριστός. I bet you’ve never sat back and wondered what the X in the abbreviation for Christmas is. Thankfully, we have winter break, which every student is incredibly thankful for. Winter Breakīy the time the end of the first semester comes around, students everywhere NEED a break, or else they will go crazy. My cousins are so special to me, and I am so thankful for them. During the holidays, though, we all come together and spend days at a time with each other. My family is very important to me, but unfortunately, they live all over the place, so I don’t get to see them a lot. (But I am thankful for any present, whether it’s wrapped or in a bag). There’s something that makes receiving gifts so much better when it’s wrapped, as opposed to just in a bag. When I get a wrapped present for any holiday, I get so much joy out of tearing off the paper. It’s so cool to me to hear what people’s traditions are and how they came about. My cousin’s family makes a different kind of dessert every night from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve. As I mentioned previously, my family goes to New York. TraditionsĮvery family has a different tradition for the holidays, and I find it so intriguing to learn about everyone’s special tradition. Plus a few snow days from school every now and then never hurt. I think it’s so beautiful and fresh and smells so good, and I catch myself waking up every morning in the winter hoping it snows that day. Now that I am older, everyone just thinks it’s a hassle, but I still love it to no end. I have such a fondness in my heart for snow. The message from this movie is so important to me, and I think Rudolph is just adorable. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is my all-time favorite Christmas movie I could watch it over and over and over again.
