Went to Viki’s place on Tuesday, first time I really hug Cass, aaaww he is damn cute la… the kind if cuteness he have before I tried hugging him and after I tried, is kind of different.. maybe because I feel a little closer to him once I hug him.
Viki intro-ed me an anime named kekkaishi. Not bad I would say, although she say it’s like bleach. I think it’s got a taste of its own.
So today marks my first day of working in the wine shop. I don’t know it’s because he is my uncle or because that’s the way he works. I feel relax in the shop, I don’t exactly feel like I am working, I ended up feeling quite guilty because of that. Of coz I am letting myself have some time to absorb the information and all… but really, I think he is treating us as nieces more than workers… (by nieces I mean my another cousin who is trying out working life after her O) Well, at least this is the most relax job thus far after working with diff bosses… Letting us go home earlier makes me feel all the more guilty.
Aniwaaeeee
He let us try 2 wines, since I am sure most of my friends aren’t really familiar with wine just like me, let’s talk a little bit about it here. Next time you can try it out yourself in restaurant or buy one home to try.
As many knows, there are red and white wine. Today I am introducing one of each I’ve tried in the store.
Chardonnay – White wine
Cabernet Sauvignon – Red wine
The first thing I notice after some swirling of Chardonnay would be the prominent apple smell. My uncle chose a cheaper range as it is simply for sampling, thus the smell didn’t last long, but he seems to be able to smell melon within the Chardonnay. The taste is slightly different though, not exactly appleish . Definitely sweet, after leaving it out for long though, the apple taste bland away. It was explained that because it’s a cheaper range. Oh well, but before the wine bland out totally, the apple fruit smell changes along the way… I can’t really tell what fruit they are but … it feels kind of magical.
Cabernet Sauvignon on the other hand, doesn’t exactly smell fruity, on the first smell, I couldn’t make out what it is, it feels familiar, not wood, not socks, definitely not fruit, not grass… somewhere near wood.. somewhere near paper… After smelling and drinking it for a while, I realize it is the smell of cardboard. The good thing about this red wine is that it won’t dries up your tongue in a snap. It is rather smooth, but the cardboard smell is mysterious. I’ve never really tried tasting wine like that before, although I always am able to pick out which one I prefer after tasting, I never really took my time. Quite a new experience so far, and enjoying it.
On the whole I miss out something important though, I guess I was too surprise by the smell of the wine, very curious and feels like I found a new toy… I was too engross with the smell I forgot to really taste the wine properly… ouch… I can’t really help it though, my nose suddenly became very, very curious after smelling something mysterious.
