Welcome to PZ's Tuesday Night Wine Bibbing Corner!
(Why Tuesday night? The wife has a business meeting on Tuesday nights!)
I confess that up until now, my wine bibbing has been restricted mostly to snitching altar wine as an altar boy in the 8th grade.
Recently, however, it has been brought to my attention that wine (in moderation) is good for the belly; particularly red wine.
Tonight, a red wine is the topic of my discussion with you. On the way home, I stopped at one of Springfield's finer wine stores, The Brown Derby, and selected their brand name merlot, "2006 Rave Merlot Paso Robles".
First, on a comment on the color; it is not red its purple, like a dark grape.
Secondly, the lady at the fine wine store (I think Boones Farm was available, too) did not pronounce the "T" in merlot. I'll have to write the store manager...
Lastly, it set me back $8.
This beverage tastes pretty good, especially after your tastebuds have been sufficiently numbed after drinking half the bottle. I am enjoying my bottle with a dish of sharp cheddar, green olives and crackers.
I give this bevy 3 thumbs up (which is how many i'm seeing now).
Let me guess, your suppose to drink this stuff differently than you'd slurp down a coke, right?
