I’m a solid 6 months into my 30’s and instead of freaking out about how my life isn’t where I thought it would be and oh em gee I’m so old now I’ve decided to take on a personal growth project (btw, I don’t think either of those things but according to some of my friends I’m supposed to be having a crisis). On a recent lazy weekend morning I decided to stop watching whatever Food Network rerun was playing and noticed our rather sad looking bookshelf needed some interesting books. I think it’s fair to judge a person by whatever books they have on their shelves so these needed to really make an impact. I decided to scour the interwebs for inspiration and came across The World Atlas of Wine. Now anyone that works in the wine industry has heard of this book and actually most refer to it as the only resource any oenophile needs in their life. SOLD. Two days later it was in my hands and I’ve been immersed in it ever since. If you really want to feel like you know nothing about wine I highly recommend reading this book! I had no idea there were so many wine growing regions of the world! Have you ever heard of wines from Costantia or Kremstal? Did you know China produces wine? How in the world was I going to learn it all?! The solution is this: Every week, Jon and I will draw one region at random and procure one red and one white from said region. To round out the experience we’re going to cook up a local dish that’s meant to pair with the wine (hopefully!). In true Jordan fashion I’ve already completed two weeks and am now just getting around to blogging but I have promised myself to be more consistent. So fingers crossed we complete the project (there has to be over 100 regions!!!) and have an amazing time doing it.
