I have to confess that I have actually had wine two nights this week. . .so far. But I’m not really sure Monday night’s wine counts because I’d already had both wines before.
In thinking about wine for tonight, I wasn’t sure what to have. . .then I found out on Twitter about Bastille on Bishop. Having grown up in Dallas, Oak Cliff was never a place I was encouraged to go. . .but I have to give them props. . .the Bishop Arts District has some great shops and restaurants and this was the perfect excuse for me to go check them out.
We each paid $10 and got a stemless wine glass and then all the wine we could drink. To get the wine you had to wonder from store to store on both sides of Bishop. This was both good and bad. . .
I found a few things I just had to buy and a few things I really wanted to buy but couldn’t afford. There were so many really amazing pieces of art I would have loved to have brought home to hang on my empty walls, but somehow I just couldn’t justify a $600 piece of art (and that was even at 30% off). . .even though I REALLY wanted it. I have this big empty wall in my kitchen it would have looked perfect on. Maybe one day when I’m rich I can buy it.
I had quite a few different wines tonight, but if I’m being completely honest I actually enjoyed the champagne punches and sangrias they had at several stores a lot more than any of the wines I tasted. Which means this is a pretty lame Wine o. Wednesday blog. . .but it was one of the most fun wine Wednesdays I’ve had in quite some time! Just goes to show that it’s not always about the wine but sometimes it’s about the company you drink it with and the place where you drink.
I’ll get back to the sipping by next week but until then, cheers!
