It’s amazing how much you can learn in a week.  To go from seriously haven’t absolutely no clue about a subject to feeling like you’re an expert in a week is a ridiculous thing.

This last week we had our intro to wine studies class.  It was a 25 hour course over the 5 days, which is really short, but I learned so much.  I went from seriously just feeling like red is red and white is white and most wines are the same to feeling like I could look taste and smell a wine and just know what it goes with.

I spent the whole of last week drunk.  It was great.  I love life, I love everything about it.  If you’re reading this I probably love you, too.

It’s always great to get instant and immediate reinforcement.  After school today a few friends and myself went to a fairly upscale bar/restaurant known for their drinks.  I took a look at the wine list, in specific the French section, and actually could say I knew what I was talking about.  It was no longer a mystery, the puzzle was solved.  I can take a look at a 2004 Chablis Grand Cru and know exactly what I’m getting.  A light chardonnary, crisp clean and refreshing, on the lighter side of Chardonnays due to the area where the grapes are grown.  It would be an amazing crisp wine with a lighter dish like seafood, especially with a cream or butter sauce because the acid cuts the fat.  That or a nice starter like Oysters.  Isn’t that amazing, fuck..it’s great.

I aced the final, another A to my list I’m sure.  Still going strong with straight A’s, closing in on halfway through my program.  Life makes so much sense right now, everything’s falling into place.  Hope everything is good for the rest of you, life is too fucking beautiful to waste.
