Hics!
I'm suddenly really interested in drinks. 'Hics' is my attempt to describe some sessions, as well as the drinks that made them merrier!
Learning about wines is a current interest - it's like discovering a whole new world. A visit to the wine section used to be a daunting task, but now understanding the information on the bottle's labels is a breeze.
How amusing it is to compare wines from different regions - the different grape varietals and bits of history that come along with them.
The reknown domaines, the appelation controlee / QmP / DOCG labels, and knowing the difference between a good wine, a vin d'oc and a vin d'pays. Knowing how to pronounce Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Sangiovese correctly... And of course, last but not least, savouring the wine itself! (My favourite part of the process!)
