Quick Wine Review: ***** Easy drinking wines!
Today was all about getting into the holiday spirits. Me and my mom went to the Nutcracker Market at the Reliant Center to kickoff the start of the holiday season. It's like a winter wonderland with so many vendors selling Christmas decorations, delicious holiday treats and plenty of Christmas type gifts. We spent a good 3 hours walking around checking everything out, after which I was completely beat. My mom said that she could go all day looking around at everything, but I'm not sure I'm built to keep up with the best. After our shopping extravaganza we went to Block 7 Wine Bar to get some much needed revitalization. We ended up selecting two bottles of wine both of which were delicious. The first was dryer than the second, so I preferred the second, although both drank pleasantly. We sipped on our wines while indulging in popcorn with truffle oil, smoked salmon and delicious flatbread pizza. We finished off the meal with a dessert which was a little too sweet for me.
