The Date Night that Turned Us Into Newlyweds Again

I'm going to tell you guys a secret. I don't know my wines... All these years I've been just nodding along to recommendations. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like to drink wine - I totally do. I also know bad wine when I drink it, but if you were to ask me for my favorites, I wouldn't be able to tell you at all.

So, when my husband suggested that we do a wine tasting for date night I thought, why not? A private wine tasting by non-judgemental sommeliers might just be the thing I need to expand my knowledge a bit. I've never been interested in going to large groups of wine tasting but if it's just hubby and I taking a class with someone I know, then why not?

So off we went one evening to Trio Wine Bar - opened by two ladies who truly love wine.

Manager Jeanne prepared four unique wines for us to taste and explained the taste, history of the labels, and production of the grapes all to us in an hour or so of jokes, mini-quizzes, and a whole lot of fun.

The ladies are true lovers of their jobs. The more we asked, the more excited she got.

As our tasting came to an end, Jeanne brought out even more rare bottles for us to try and gave us a quick tour of their collection of wines.

Our wine tasting class at Trio was the first date night where we attended a class together instead of our typical dinner date and it was so much fun! Not once did conversations about upcoming plans for the week or our daughter came up.

It somehow became an evening that reminded us of our dates when we first met - just two people discovering new interests together.
