Oenophilia

Oenophile: noun, a person who enjoys wines, usually as a connoisseur.
And since everything is connected, today's post has inspired my Twitter Word of the Day. Follow me all summer, as we expand our vocabulary.

It's wine and jazz season chez nous; and some like-minded friends invited us to indulge those passions at Alba Vineyard, where the Eric Mintel Quartet was performing.


We sat under the arbor for the music and picnicing, but also had a lovely wine tasting inside. Alba is an award winning winery in a beautiful location in Finesville, NJ.


My favorite wines were the Gewurtztraminer, Pinot Noir, and a fabulous ice wine made from apples, called Forbidden.
