    2. Wine was chosen by Chloe, she comes from the sticks and said this was a good Rose to try. It had Snoop’s face on it and I thought, well, it ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none, let's try it! We paired this wine with a chicken pesto pasta with mushrooms and a side of garlic bread. Now, before I had any food I tried some of this wine… immediately I was struck with the realization that the hot, smelly breath from my grandparents that I always smelled was derived from Rose wine, greatttttt. I could taste how their breath would smell. Anddd I got the ICK.. again. Gross! While attempting to get over the ick, I tried it while I was eating the pasta andddd it wasn’t so bad. Definitely paired better than the Tinazzi wine and pasta with meat sauce. It was definitely a sweeter and more floral wine I have tasted so far. It had 14% alcohol content and I drank mehhh.. Maybe a half full glass of it, as for the rest, Chloe killed it. Good for her. Even so, we were still probably at the same level of intoxication. I have a solid 60 lbs on Chloe and she made me look and feel like the greatest lightweight south of the Mason-Dixon line. This wine was definitely a little smoother and easier wine to drink than the others, and I’d like to try some more light red wines after this. Also, not sure if we were using the right wine glasses, but the selection was limited.
