BERONIA MAZUELO RESERVA


After a long day of working on assignments, it's nice to sit back and unwind with a nice glass of wine. I tried this '06 mazuelo at Fontana CafĂ©, this evening, and it really hit the spot. It's a little bit smokey and spicy as I seem to get hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, but it also has a dark berry-type vibe. Also, it is a VERY heavy red, so it packs a punch. Definitely have it with a steak (I had it with a burger, so classy haha), or some kind of red meat to tame it down if you like your reds to be a bit lighter. I am by no means a wine connoisseur, but I would certainly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a bit of a smokey, spicy, extra full-bodied red wine. You can pick up a bottle of Beronia Mazuelo Reserva for around 20 euros and I can assure you that it is quite good value =)


Just a few more scribbles of the pen and this semester is over! Can't wait!

UNHAPPY FEET



Please do yourself a favour and buy well-made, well-fitting boots. At least, buy some good, supportive, insoles and you won't end up with a fractured cuboid AND peroneal tendonitis like me =(

Today, I picked up these insoles for about 40 euros. They're 100% leather, so they're very breathable and they also have amazing support. If I bought them sooner, I wouldn't be limping around town like fool.
