My Mom & Wine...Two of My Loves!


My beautiful mom came to visit for a quick day trip on Monday. She flew in to Chicago and we took her to Snooze in downtown Denver, showed her our condo and our little, familiar downtown, and circled back around to the airport where we did dinner before seeing her back off to Chicago. It was a quick and whirlwind trip but well worth it! We were so excited to have her visit. :D

Once we knew she was safely in the air we tried out Vino Volo at the airport, something we always wanted to do but can't when we are in uniform. J ordered the South African wine flight and I chose the white wine flight. Our favorites?
We both liked: 2011 Groot Constantia Shiraz, Constantia, South Africa - currants, plums, raspberries, pepper, cloves
I liked: 2011 Pikorua Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand- grapefruit-y and crisp, lovely
J liked: 2011Val De Vie Barista Pinotage, Western Cape, South Africa - lots of coffee, chocolate, cherry
