Wine Tasting at the Galleria

White or Red Wine?

Over the weekend, we went to a mini wine tasting at Tyson Galleria Mall. A new restaurant opened up called Vino Volo. After a week of craziness, this was perfect. We sat at the bar and took a look at the menu. The menu was clipboard to a wooden cutting board; simple and cute. There is a set of three wines in each tasting. The catchy and creative names made it hard to pick. I got the Fireplace Red and my husband got the Winter Whites. The waiter was polite and knowledgeable about wines.

Alongside our wine, I got a salmon dish and bowl of almond. I have to admit the almonds were delicious! The unique blend of herbs went amazing with the wines. I liked the salmon dish as well. My husband doesn't eat fish so I can't say we both enjoyed it. We sat there for couple of hours just talking... about life & business of course. The atmosphere was so relaxing. All you needed was a fireplace and it would be perfect! 

We had a slight buzz going on from the wine. We decided to go home and make it a movie night. Looking through our list of option, we picked The Butler. Wonderful choice. It really makes you understand and feel what it was like to be an African American during those times. The difficulties they faced constantly. Not being able to look a white man in the eye or stand for what you believe is right. It was also interesting to see that not every African American was for the movement, Freedom Fighters or Black Panther. Also to realize that this wasn't too long ago. And now we have an African American President. Amazing how times have changed yet there are still people that are racist.

Great way to end the night, with great wine and an amazing movie.
