Sometimes wedding planning can be kind of frustrating, but on Saturday we got to take care of some of the more enjoyable tasks on our to-do list. We drove out to
Wood Mill Winery to select the wine for the wedding. By "select," I mean we tasted every variety they had (some of them twice) and picked eight different kinds to bring out to Nebraska for our guests. We tried to get something for everybody, but because there aren't many true wine drinkers among our guests, the vast majority of these are quite sweet. Here's a list of the wines we picked:
- Dry Golden Scuppernong
- Semi-Sweet Golden Scuppernong
- Dry Red Muscadine
- Semi-Sweet Red Muscadine
- Semi-Sweet Mon Amour (Blend of Golden Scuppernong & Red Muscadine)
- Sweet Blackberry
- Semi-Dry Blueberry (tasted like a merlot)
- Sweet Blueberry
We also ordered some of the beer for the wedding. We're getting a light microbrew called
Infinite Wit from Nebraska Brewing Company and mild dark microbrew named
Third Stone Brown from Empyrean. It even seems like we've finally convinced the best man to pick up the beer, even if he doesn't agree with our selections.
Inspired by the Jason Aldean concert we'd gone to the night before (and almost had too good of time at, if that's possible), we decided to also work on our song requests and blacklist for the DJ. We just put the iPod on shuffle and saw what came up. I'll post some of our selections later, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to share them now!
