Two things.
First, as you can tell by the timestamps on both this and my writing blog, I have (am making?) less time to write since I’ve restarted work after my sabbatical. Not surprising, but sad.
In theory, I could still write a little on days that I work from home — perhaps first thing before I start work. On days that I go into the office, I could write on the bus (though it may be difficult to properly focus) or possibly at lunch.
I need to figure things out.
Second, I am looking for a good blush wine — and they are hard to find. I like how they sit between a red and a white, with more character than a white, but more drinkability (and chillability) than a red.
Though popular in France, blush wines have a bad reputation here and so aren’t that available. I’ve discovered there are two grouping: sweet, like the shunned white zinfandels, and dry, like those in Paris.
The nearby big supermarket, G&G, carries very few, and none with a rating higher than 88 out of 100 — so I figured I’d be fine with Beverages and More, but it’s (surprisingly) the exact same story.
It’s hard to find a well-rated wine online, then purchase it in a local store — since local stores carry so few. So my plan is to flip the process around: research (likely by photographing) the available local blush wine selections, identify those with high ratings, and go back to buy them. This is my weekend project. Wish me luck.
