I've had the worst luck trying to ski in New Zealand. Today I'm supposed to be at Porter Heights on a trip with the Recreation Centre at the university. However this morning, I received a text message on my cell phone stating that the trip was cancelled due to "Gale force winds expected all day." This gives me time to do spring-cleaning, buy groceries, and finish the answer sheet for my students.
I'm in the midst of having lunch. It's pretentious. I'm having nan, salami, young leyden cheese, and next weeks wine. I stopped by the butchers, the wine shop I discovered last week, and the Indian supermarket this morning. The wine shop has to be one of the better ones in Christchurch because it was busy at 11 am on a Saturday morning.
This week's wine is good and I don't feel that I gave it a fair shot. It's Gunn Estate 2005 unoaked chardonnay from Gisborne. I must start to describe the flavors to become a better connoisseur. This wine tasted like a decent chardonnay. I like my chardonnay to be as antiseptic as possible and this was. Tree flavor is too much for most whites, but some reds can handle it.
