Who's ready for wine tasting? I am! Hello everybody and welcome to Megan and Liam's dank trip to the Blacksburg Fork & Cork. I was lucky enough to be accompanied this gorgeous spring day by my partner in life and crime, Liam, who was generous enough to model most of the pictures I took.
Over the next week I'll show off 7 wines from the tastings, but for now, a pairing.
Only the finest for us kids, a bottle of Our Dog Blue from Chateau Morrisette, which is a wine my dryer sensibilities and my sweet-craving boyfriend can both agree to tolerate, and corndogs.
Surprisingly enough, the sweetness in the wine brought out the sweeter flavors in the corn dog (as long as you didn't put ketchup on it first). It did not, however, pair well with the funnel cake we stole I MEAN BOUGHT along with our lunch, where it didn't balance at all. The overall flavor became overwhelmingly sweet and just destroyed the experience. We ended up saving the rest of the bottle until after the funnel cake for the sake of our tastebuds.
My personal wine of the day was the Virginia Mountain Vinyard's Cabernet Franc, which I bummed off some like-minded college students in line for a different tasting. The medium body was decidedly delightful against the red fruit flavors of plum and blackberry and a spicy finish of red currents and black pepper.
And now, excited closeup pictures of dogs:
That, was dogs. Thank you.
