Wine Pairing: White Wine – Riteme Celler 2018 Ritme Blanc
COVID Headline: RIT suspends COVID booster requirement indefinitely (Matt Driffill – RochesterFirst.Com)
The thing about rules is if you are the boss, you can change them as you like! Turns out that is exactly what officials at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) have done. Dumping their COVID-19 booster requirement indefinitely. Their rationale for the change – the new variant is more contagious but if fully vaccinated most people are not experiencing severe illness or hospitalization. Well now that is something to drink too & I have the perfect pairing.
RIT not only is a technology institute in Rochester it is the first three letters in a 2018 RITME Blanc from @RitmeCeller (part of the @AcusticCeller group) I just tired while at the lake. This Spanish Organic white is a nicely structured, well-balanced wine with soft scents & smooth finish. Medium gold in colour. On the nose, apricot, lemon peel & pineapple. On the palate, sweet apple, plum & butter with a significant grapefruit aftertaste. And because I am the Homemade-Sommelier boss, I broke all the rules on this one – pairing this wine with Chicago Mix Popcorn and Spicy Dill Pickle chips. The meal of champions! Besides, while at the lake, there are no rules! A very drinkable wine that I look forward to pairing again in the very near future.
Most important rule I learned about wines – Ignore them! Don’t listen to others just because they “know” more than your tastebuds and what brings you pleasure.
