Excellent DayOff - I especially like the “tear apart the baby of the cosmos …” part - and on Xmas, no less - brilliant!
Let’s decree this creative writing day on wine.woot. While the logic types are all debating politics with Uncle Butt, the space riders can escape these holiday horrors with a little trip to the corners of their mind.
We have finished with the gifts, and I’ve opened a bottle- of beer! It’s not kosher or compatible with Macs, but it sure is tasty. I hope you all are enjoying the holiday!
It would probably be fair to estimate both of these around $20-$25 per bottle pre-liquidation. The Carneros Merlot is different from the Napa Valley one, and probably would cost slightly more. I’d guess in terms of quality it should fall between the Napa Merlot (~$20) and the Carneros Reserve (~$35).
little sara’s on the couch scratching
madly with her new 120 color pencil set
uncle butt’s in the next room
smoking camels
flicking ashes on the kitchen table
next to the ham
his favorite movie is gran torino, only
he’d whack all those punks in the first scene
it wouldn’t be a movie then, would it?
he laughs at his own jokes too long
get me another keystone, virginia, or i’ll
drop kick you and that bow terrier of yours
from here to next christmas
see you then
i’ll save you a piece of ham
ho ho ho
Though I can’t do a full labrat report – as I’ve only tasted this at the winery, and my cellar is a couple thousand miles away at the moment – I would let you know this is a great deal, at least on the Syrah. I have 3 of the '05 (maybe the '04?) in my cellar. Even if you consider the merlot a “freebie”, the syrah at $16 is a good buy. Havens is good peeps.
OK, I’m in. I’ll use these as cellar defenders for my other Havens wines. It’s worth the extra $2 to me to get ‘legit’ Havens as opposed to the H wines that may be slightly more dubious.
hmmmm, well, I see … a good thief is yet welcome at this Xmas dinner … we will simply keep a closer eye on you and pat you down a bit during tonight’s departure hugs … perhaps you remind me of my dear uncle
