Wine: Mixed Signals

This weekend I decided to take my camera to a store and take some photos of wines with interesting names.

And I got all kinds of mixed signals.

Meet wine number 1: Monogamy

I recommend you buy this and give it to a cheating spouse. As a passive aggressive reminder. We know you are cheating and you need to stop right now. Remember monogamy?

Avoid giving it to your own spouse unless you think she/he is cheating on you. It will just be confusing.






Meet wine number 2: Promisqous

Do not give it to a cheating spouse. Never ever to be served with the lovely Cabernet Monogamy.

On second thought, give it to a cheating spouse accusing him or her of being promiscuous. That will teach them!






Meet wine number 3: Menage a Trois

See! I told you that you would not believe me if I told you. You have to see this to believe it.

This wine reminds me of George Costanza in Sinefield. Anyone remember that episode?






So my dear friends there you have it. For now. I got mixed signals. No matter what lifestyle you chose, there is wine for you to drink.

I however came home with this:

A Recommendation...

To enhance your election-results-watching experience, I recommend the Mad Housewife Chardonnay.

No offense to the housewives anywhere. I was once a housewife for years. Way back when it was ok to use the word "housewife". I was happy. But I bet I would have been happier if I had this wine with me.

Staying at home and raising kids is hard hard work. I salute all the women and men who chose to do this.

This wine is special because it contains an extra message for the mad housewives. Click on the image to read it.

Where was this wine when I needed it? Chug, chug!

Economy and Wine: II

I am finally delivering on my promise. I do care about the economy. And you my thousands and thousands of blog readers.

So yesterday, I finally picked up some cheap wine. Typically, when I am buying wine, I pick up my favorite (Woodbridge Chardonnay) and leave. On rare occasions, I'll pick up some fancy wine to try it out. Yesterday was a very special occasion. After all, the responsibility of the wine makers, wine drinkers, and the economy world-wide rested on my shoulders.

So I paid special attention to all the wines that were available. And let me tell you, the wine makers must get kudos for coming up with wine names. I can write months of posts on just the wine names. You won't believe me if I tell you. I'll just have to post photos.

I picked this nice wine, S.O.B. Sun of a beach. Cost? $ 6.98. It is a nice Cabernet made in California. Wouldn't it make a wonderful statement if I gifted the wine to certain SOBs in my life?" I got you wine. S.O.B." In the name of economy, I encourage you to buy the wine and give it to all the SOBs in your life.

But I digress.

I took photos of the wine and opened it up. I was planning on drinking it all but my hubby jumped on my "let's save the economy" bandwagon. So I had to share.

I took a sip and actually liked it. Now here is where you are expecting me to say clever stuff like how fruity it was, how I could taste the grapes from Tuscany, and how I could taste a hint of cinnamon so here goes. Blah, blah, blah. It was decent wine. I wish I knew about it when I was watching the Vice Presidential debates and I was playing the drinking game.

S.O.B. Can the election end NOW?

So there you have it. Drop whatever it is you are doing right now and go buy the S.O.B wine. Buy it for yourself, for relatives, for in-laws, for frenemies, for the wine makers, and for the economy.

Together, we can save the economy.

Economy and Wine

A recent scientific study (I heard this in the hallway) shows that because of the current economy crisis, folks have stopped drinking wine. They opt for either beer or hard liquor. Wine is supposedly more expensive. Beer is beer and hard liquor gives more bang for the buck.

The wine makers everywhere are very very worried. How are they going to survive? Who is going to buy that 45 dollar bottle of wine? Who bought a 45 dollar bottle of wine in the first place?

I on the other hand worry about the cost of a wine bottle. Will it go up? How will I survive? Will I have to give up wine and start sipping on bourbon?

So this weekend, I am going to do some research. For you and the wine drinkers and the wine makers and the economy. I am going to buy some inexpensive wine, drink it, and post a blog about inexpensive wines. Something under 10 dollars. I was thinking of buying 10 bottles of wine. 5 reds and 5 white. But I think my hubby will probably freak out if I buy 100 dollars of wine. So I will settle for 2 reds and 2 white.

This will be my contribution to the economy. Drink wine and prosper. And assure all my blog readers that you can drink wine. Even during an economy crisis.

See how nice I am?
