Hi everyone, happy Wednesday, so we are about to have dinner and a glass of wine. I hope that you guys stick around and join me. Hi everyone, I'm Nancy and welcome back to my channel. I'm so excited to see you guys. Thank you so much. It means so much to me that you are able to take a few minutes out of your data spend with me. It means more to me than I can ever let you know. So thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. If you're new to my channel, I hope that you would consider hitting that little red subscribe button over there. I would love to have you come back and join us for future videos. Today we are doing wine Wednesday. I don't know how these kind of metamorphosized into having dinner with wine, but I suppose that's better than you guys thinking. I'm just sitting here drinking the whole bottle of wine that I'm at least getting some substance in my stomach as well, right? So I know we made some soups this past weekend. So the one we are going to have tonight, so new soup to me, I've never made anything like this before. It smells amazing. I cannot wait to get into it. It is a crock pot Mexican meatballs soup. You can buy like packaged meatballs already, right? So yeah, and there's rice in here and there's corn and there's black beans and there's diced tomatoes with the green chilies and there's onions in here and beef broth and it listed a couple of different spices like chili and cumin and pepper and oregano and things like that. So I said, you know what, I'm just going to make it even easier and I'm going to buy a package of taco seasoning and put that in there. And I think that's about it. So you just kind of put it all together, throw it in the crock pot for like I think it said four hours and then you throw some cooked rice in when it's done. I know simple, simple, simple, it smells amazing. So then it was for what wine we're going to have with it. So you know a couple of weeks ago, I tried a new winery in three lakes Wisconsin. I had never been there before. Well, I still haven't been there before, but I ordered a pumpkin wine from them and I got a couple of other wines just so it can get lonely in the package. So I got this Zinfandel and again from three lakes winery Wisconsin and it's in the three lakes area and they say I think this is like the second oldest winery in Wisconsin. I think they're famous probably for their cranberry wines because Wisconsin has a ton of cranberry bugs just like Cape Cod. So they may do make fruit wines and then the normal wines that everybody's familiar with like you know with Chardonnay, a cappernay, serras, Zinfandel, but they do have a lot of mixes with cranberry. So they do have quite a variety. So anyway I poured some in my glass already just to kind of let it aerate a little bit and it is a nice deep purple color. It is really coating my glass here. So it's just telling me that there is a stronger alcohol content in here. Let's kind of just switch this around. Get those aromas, the fragrances to unleash the mix with the air aerated a little bit more. It smells spicy like Peppa. I think they smell plum maybe blackberry. Hmm. I think that's it. Anyway, cheers everyone. Happy, happy Wednesday. Hope everyone's week is flying by. Issue free. That's the best part when your work week is issue free. Cheers everyone. Hmm. This is nice. It's got some strong tannins in it. So it instantly dries the top of your palate the inside of your mouth. Then as you go to swallow it, it's velvety smooth. It's got I think maybe there's even cherry in here, some plum, some blackberry. It's a peppery, like a hot spice set in here. Also maybe a little bit of cinnamon. So you got all these flavors that just kind of come alive at the back of your mouth and you throw it just before you swallow it. All those flavors just kind of zing come to life. It's going to have another quick sip. It's kind of nice, rich, full body too. Hmm. This is nice. This is going to be perfect with my Mexican soup. So I think I read on their site, other than it was 13% alcohol. They say that it goes great with barbecue foods, Indian, Mexican. I have Mexican soup. I know how perfect is that. So again, this soup smells amazing. Really, really easy to make. And got it on my plate here. Got a little cornbread off to the side. I mean, this would be good too if I happen to have some tortilla strips or something to kind of crinkle them up on top or fritos or anything like that. But there's black beans in here, some corn rice, the diced tomatoes, and the green chilies, and then these little meatballs from just frozen meatballs. And like I said, it smells amazing. It was like just beef broth that I used in here. Probably like a whole, I think it was probably the whole 32 ounce container of beef broth. And put some rice when it was done. It's going to have a quick little taste here. Mmm. Not as good in the taco seasonings. I mean, I couldn't buy all those spices or look at my cabinet, but the pre-made taco spices are already good. Just cut one of the meatballs. Mmm. Yeah, it's really good. It's like the meatballs just kind of took over the spiciness of the taco seasoning. And no other things in here. Really, really easy to make. Again, tons of chopped onions in here. I think it said for a half a cup and I used a whole cup of chopped onions. I love onions. And this with my wine and the cornbread. And that's my dinner tonight. So anyway, I want to thank you guys so much for taking a few minutes of your day to spend with me. Mmm. I can really starting to enjoy these little wine Wednesdays and the wine diaries with a little bit of food. I do miss my appetizers though. I think I want you to have to do a appetizer one pretty soon because I do miss just happens to snacks at the end of the day. But anyway, thank you guys so much for stopping and spending a few minutes of your day with me. I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your week. Take care. Everyone, stay safe. Be kind. Be happy. Enjoy life. Have some fun. Love you guys so much. And we will see you in the next video.
