Along with the theme of today's posts (that's right, multiple), this one is late also. This is our Second Anniversary Post.
Our 2nd anniversary was a rainy one, which was very fitting as our actual wedding day's weather left a little something to be desired. We took our 2nd year picture for the wall - a few regular ones and then one kind of silly one, which I love. Shane doesn't want the silly one actually being our wall photo though... Bummer.
We had a lovely steak dinner, with an impressive bottle of wine we found the week before. It had an epic label that matched our wedding logo!! Craziness! I can only imagine if we had found this one two years ago, it would have been ah-mazing (not that it wasn't already, but come on!)!!

So this was obviously not a Thursday, but you can't have an anniversary in our house without bubbly! We didn't go crazy like last year, and kept it at a low price point. We did have a special one though, one that we had picked up from Vieni Estates, one of our favourite wineries.
The Vieni Momenti Rosé. We have had this before, and quite enjoyed it. This round was no different. On popping the top, Shane said it was very berry forward in scents. Perhaps cherries? Perhaps raspberries?
In the first couple sips I thought it was a sweet-dry. I said that it was a touch sweeter than we normally enjoy. Shane said that it was yummy (which I agree with) and that it was nice and dry! Not a good start to Year Three if we can't even agree if a bubbly is sweet or dry, yikes!
In either case, it certainly got the saliva going at the back of our mouths. Yum! We finally agreed that it was kind of a sweet-tart candy thing going on, which explained the discrepancy between our sweet vs dry. It was sweet, but had a nice tart-dry finish. It had a nice mouth feel, with soft, slow moving bubbles. Now, I fully understand that's an odd way to describe the bubbles, but I can't think of another way. They weren't sharp and fast, they were kind of lazy and floaty.
It was a beautiful colour, and we would definitely get this again. Delish.
