Why wandering in the wine aisle is bad for me:
Was doing some retail therapy when I found myself happily lost in Carrefour's world of wines. My intention at the hypermarket was to get a closet and not wine, but I left with no closet and 2 bottle of wines. Mr Richard, the staff at the wine department, kindly gave me helpful recommendations (Canada's got better ice wine) and even great tips to wine drinking (he taught me about wine decanting and 'breathing'). Up till last year, I know nothing about wine, and now, I've learnt to enjoy the pleasure of wine appreciation! I was excited when I saw a Haut-Medoc going on a discount because I had wanted to get one for Mum to taste after my experience with a Medoc in a gala dinner I attended in France. It tasted just right for me, aromatic but not too bitter. Isn't it lovely that I've manage to get one at last! Oh, the Cabernet D'Anjou rose is for myself. I love dessert wines and it was for half the normal price. Happy!
To top it off, I got a great bargain at Ikea. 6 wine goblets for about only a dollar each.
Ahh, great wines and great bargains. Retail therapy always works :)
