Last night’s Wine Wednesday was a little different. Instead of picking up a new bottle and drinking it at home with Beth, we switched it up and met up with some Twitter friends at a local wine bar.
I have been Twitter friends with @politosara and @melanieO for quite awhile now and despite all of us living around Dallas we had never gotten together. Melanie suggested Veritas, which I was excited to try. I always see it and had heard nothing but great things about it but had never actually stopped by.
Beth & I arrived a few minutes late, but luckily we did not keep Sara and Melanie waiting. They
had picked out a delicious 2006 Robert Sinskey Vandal Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. I had never heard of Robert Sinskey but thoroughly enjoyed this selection. As we were getting to know each other and enjoying this wonderful Cabernet we were joined by @JFTxWine who braved being the only dude with four women.
Needless to say the first bottle didn’t last too long and we moved on to a 2006 Burgess Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was equally delicious and also new to me.
Sorry the picture isn’t much better, I snapped it real quick at the end of the night with my phone so that I could be sure and remember the great wines we had.
As good as the wines were the company was even better! I have yet to be disappointed when I meet a Twitter friend in real life and am looking forward to many more glasses of wine with my new friends.
If you are in the Dallas area, I highly recommend stopping by Veritas. Granted I was a little focused on enjoying the wine and getting to know everyone to really explore Veritas, but it only made me want to go back and visit. Brooks, one of the brothers that owns the wine bar stopped by to say hi. The layout is perfect for small gatherings or larger groups. The walls are adorned with amazing artwork throughout the entire space, and wine bottles are on racks up and down both sides offering a wide variety to choose from.
Hope your wine Wednesday was as great as mine!
Cheers!
