Nosing Your Business

Last week we went wine tasting.  Cloud Climbers Jeep Tours picked us up right from our door and we kissed the wee ones ta-ta and buckled in for the fermented ride.  Traveling around in a rag top jeep sans children was treat enough, but add in a little swirling and twirling of pale and ruby sweetness and….hold the phone….it was down right delicious!

I like wine.  I do not know wine.  “Tastes pretty good to me!”  Right?

Our guide filled our ears with wine facts and vineyard tid bits while our minds wandered over the magnificent country side.  “You have to smell the tannins…get your nose in there…what do you smell?”

“Um…” I paused, “Wine? Red wine?”  Maybe I do not have a keen sniffer.  Maybe that is why I could cozy up to a saltlick.  But really, how much does your nose know?

Our guide was driving us to our next tasting and I am sat blissfully behind him watching rows of lavendar float by.  My lips felt parched from windy jeep travels and I lathered them up in a lip gloss tucked in my pocket.  “Who’s eating cookies?” he asked.

Hot damn!  Chocolate cookie flavored lip gloss is detected by this guy’s nose traveling over 30mph in open air.  Now that’s nosing your business!
