Kim Crawford Malborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Where was the sun when YOU
woke up this morning?

You KNEW you were not going
to have a nice day.

You KNEW you would need help.

What do PEOPLE do???

I suppose bullfrogs are supposed
to cheer you up, but they don’t
help when you realize that you
FORGOT TO PUT THE FOOD IN THE OVEN.

Luckily, this wine is well suited
to comfort the troubled soul during
the wait.

Surprise #1: Color
Surprise #2: Flavor

I can’t take any more surprises.

Let me just enjoy this
delicious wine.

I had to have Matt help me find
the SB wine in the Paola store.

It was hidden in the aisle
labeled “Smallish Parcels of Land
Surrounded by Water”.

Do they make wine in ICELAND?

The SB was holding hands with
the dust bunnies.

Feeling sorry for the bottles,
I offered to buy the most expensive
one and this is what I got.

How methodical and intelligent
is that?

It’s not a BAD method if you
make it home with this wine.

I felt like I was buying pork
bullion cubes at a Chinese grocery.

(THE WINE, not the pork bullion
cubes or the Chinese grocery.)

The sun is trying to come out,
the food is almost ready, but
THE WINE IS GONE.

I’m starting to lean a bit.

Hang in there.

Mud House Central Otago New Zealand Pinot Noir 2016

2018-08-14 Mud House Central Otago   NZ PN 2016.jpg

I THINK this is a repeat and I
can see why.

It’s a PN that I can
just ENJOY.

No goofies.

No explanations.

No confusion.

Perhaps a bit “rich”.

Perhaps a bit “pruney”.

But totally ME.

As it turns out, IT
MAY NOT BE A REPEAT.

I can’t find a prior note
on it.

However, I did find it
on a May 2017 receipt.

I ALMOST missed making
a note on this one TWO
TIMES.

Horrible.

I found a previous email
which says basically what
I have discovered again here.

Bingo.

Hang in there.
