A Wine Soap Opera

On a bright sunny day, the Good Daughter





went to meet her Five Friends.





She took her Red Guitar





and sped off on her Red Bicyclette

.



On her way, she ran into the Purple Cowboy.





He drove a big Red Truck. (OMG- Check out the cost of this wine. It is cheaper than decent vinegar.)



He was interested in a little Horse Play.





Stop! Or I'll turn you into a Toasted Head.





But he didn't listen. So she turned him into a toasted head.

Oops! She said as she sped off the meet her friends.

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.
