    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?

      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.

        Heh.

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

          Do you subscribe to that magazine Trent?

          What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

            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).

                   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.

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.

                            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.
