I really really need alcohol tonight.  Beer would be more sensible since I am home alone and 1-2 beers wont make me incapable of saving my children in a house fire.  A bottle of wine would.  I suppose I could stop at 2 glasses.  Right?

If you can you're better than me.  The last bottle I uncorked disappeared the same night.

MTA:  I could use one too, but both my kids are sick and so am I so I should try and save it for Sunday.  It's been one hell of a week (first one got sick LAST Sunday and was rough all week).  I'm pleased I only missed one day running this week.

Which one?

 Raven's Wood.

The best money can buy at WalMart.

Heh.

I love where I live but there are some things that are just difficult to buy nearby.  Wine is one of them.

Nothing to say at the moment.

Eh.  Disappointed.  The wife called it high-class church wine, which is not a good thing.

Go buy some Rosenblum.

 

RW is better than church wine, but it is still more or less a commodity Zin (look at where you bought it).

Do you live near a Costco?

 No worries, my expectations were not unrealistically high.

Dragon,

Thirty minutes from a Costco but not a member.  I go very infrequently with a friend to stock up on wine and booze so I'll check there next.  The trick is to go in knowing what you're looking for and I've got a list going now from this.

As Ben Franklin said:
In wine there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is bacteria

including E Coli which is found in shit

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
Than to drink water and be full of shit

The Ravenswood people were, in my wife's words just now as I asked for her recollection of how they treated us when we stopped in their winery in oh, '94. "They were just kind of cu**s."*

They were absolute condescending douchebags.

Never bought their products. Never will. Their loss - could have retired on my quaffage.

 

* Unsure if that word crosses a swamp line, but if so, you can read it as currs. Otherwise, maybe I'll go back an modify with the nt. Once, and this is a true story, I had to write the real word in a newspaper article about an event at Penn State U about a group holding a "saidwordFest" to "take the power back." Good times.

I'm more of a Bordeaux drinker; I don't tend to care for most Pinots. But possibly I just don't often find good ones. I did enjoy some of the Burgundies I had touring France a few years ago.

 

The one US Pinot I have found that I really like is Syncline, from Washington State.

 

And did someone say Scotch? I like it peaty -- Talisker, Laphroaig.

March Napa day confirmed.  Score.  More touristy than the Northwest I'm sure but the airfare and accomodations are on the employer so I'll take what I can get.
