I hope to meet some fellow wine lovers in Calgary that I can share my nerdy love of the delicious grape juice with. My husband is a very good wine drinking buddy but does not have quite the same passion for it that I do.
In my search for a job in Calgary (Via google) I applied for several jobs which sounded interesting. A potential employer reviewed my resume and stumbled across the "Interests and Hobbies" section (Which until now I thought no one ever read) where I mention my wine tasting and guitar playing interests ,and emailed me telling me that he too shares a passion for wine and also plays guitar! It was a relief to hear that there is hope for me to meet people with common interests. It can be scary moving to a new city but also very exciting because it is a fresh start.
Luckily, I have Rob or the transition would be rather lonely.
Okay, on to the wine part (Because that's what this blog is supposed to be about).One of the nights we were visiting with some good friends in West Vancouver and we shared a bottle of Hartford Court Pinot Noir
(2005) which was fantastic. It had a sort of leathery nose with black cherries. The cherries followed onto the palette with a long finish of spicy mocha flavours. The tannins were pretty soft and the wine was light. It was quite a well rounded wine that I would certainly recommend to anyone who is partial to Pinot Noir.
