Saint Peter: What happened
to YOU?
OTWN: I was born silly and
never recovered.
SP: Why didn’t you seek help.
OTWN: I did, but I couldn’t
find anybody silly enough to
help ME.
SP: No matter. You’re here
now and you should feel right
at home.
OTWN: What? Are all these souls
silly?
SP: Don’t be silly. WE are
TOLERANT.
OTWN: Can I be excused?
SP: Sure. Go stand in the
corner.

It never occurred to me to
track down exceptional
white wine in Paola or
Brookside, but “stuff” happens.

I’m “busy” today, so…

I have no idea what I’m
drinking except that…

It’s good.
It came in the $100 case.
We opened it to include in
the “Chicken Piccata”.
After seeing how much I’m
enjoying this wine, the reds
in my cooler are organizing
a pilgrimage to Tibet.

OTWN: Hey Theresa, do you
remember where we keep the
capers?
T: Refrigerator?
OTWN: OK, but where?
T: Look in the crisper.
OTWN: I can’t find them
anywhere.
T: Oh wait a minute. There
was a 2014 Fleurie up here
this morning looking for
backpacking food. It left a
trail menu.
OTWN (reading menu): Yummy.
T: Who’s going to cook for
a bunch of full wine bottles?
OTWN (making sign to
hang around neck): I’m going
for a walk.

“Will Cook for
Full Wine Bottles”

Hang in there.

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.

You can read about it here…
(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.

This was the last of
the “value case”.

I started hugging the
bottle when I found it
hiding in the cooler
hoping to go undetected.

Perhaps this wine is shy.

Any wine lover worth their
salt will fawn over this
wine like they would over
their child at a fourth grade
piano recital.

WHY DON’T we send our
prepubescent offspring
to WINE SCHOOL so that we can
look forward to evenings
of glorious oenological delight
rather than ones of cacophony.

I DON’T KNOW.

Neighbor: Hey, come to the
game tonight, my son’s on
the dance team.
OT: Sorry, my daughter’s
helping with the barrel tasting
at the Heritage vineyard.
N: Can I come?
OT: Yeah, but don’t bring
the pom-poms.

But, but, but, what about
the wine?

Hommina, hommina, hommina…

If you don’t finish it
in one day, you will have
trouble sleeping.

Sweet dreams.

I can’t find any “useful”
information about this wine
on the web.

YMMV.

I just realized that I
almost let the FORTH pass
without making fun of
Martina McBride.

Wet Fweedom Wing…

Too bad she didn’t
go to wine school.

Hang in there.

This is another one
from the “value case”
that is almost gone.
(The case is almost gone.)

I didn’t make notes
as I drank.

I loved the wine.

I want to try this
one (or similar) again.

This is why I take
notes as I drink the
wine.

I JUST CAN’T REMEMBER
STUFF VERY WELL.

On the other hand…

I do remember a
“dry honeycomb”
and
“dry grass”
flavor.

It was totally delicious,

Hang in there.

so now I’m drooling as
I anticipate trying this
one again.
