Wine Luvahs Unite!!

So I went to uber-HOTT eye doc yesterday. Everytime she said, "You can go ahead and take off those glasses", I thought she said I could take off my shirt. She's YUMMY! Mrs CB. didn't see the attraction. I sometimes wonder how she calls herself gay.

So, after the eye exam and dinner, we hit Spagio Wine Cellars. This is what heaven will be for a wine whore such as myself. Our purchases:

CABZILLA-a 2002 Napa Valley Cab Sauv with a pic of Godzilla drinking wine on the front.
I shit you not!

VAMPIRE- a 2002 Pinot Noir from Transylvania

VALLEY OF THE MOON- a 2000 PN from California

CLAAR CELLARS- a 2002 Cab-Merlot blend

ARGYLE- a 2003 PN from Oregon

PINOT EXPRESS- a 2002 PN from Oregon

WILD HORSE- a 2001 CS from California

AVALON- a 2002 CS from Napa Valley

We will save the VAMPIRE to drink when we hand out candy for Trick-or-Treat.

We aren't really wine snobs. Before I hooked with Mrs CB, I was known for my $4.99 bottles of grocery store hooch. We are experimenting with different wines and I am planning to start a wine diary. Sadly, we bought no whites, and I don't drink rose's of blushes anymore. Too many Bellagio nightmares.

In other news, I finally got started on painting. Only got half done because I was treated to a surprise visit by my best friend and two of her little ones. Needless to say, the cats are still hiding ;)

Wel...I'll just save that for the in-laws. Of course, my MIL's idea of fine wine is "that blackberry mer-lot."

Hey! I've been wine tasting at the Wild Horse vineyard. Yum!

I think it was yummy. Wild Horse was 4th or 5th on the list that day, so, um, yeah. :)

And I've dona wine tasting..in my own home. Actually, I don't like to go to wine tastings because I refuse to spit it out.

The first time my mum went wine tasting she didn't know you were supposed to and she thought everyone else was disgusting for doing it. My Dad's cousin owns a vineyard and she'd just gotten engaged to him so she thought her future in-laws were animals. Needless to say, Dad had to help her back to the car when they were done- she was rather *ahem* "happy".

"Mrs CB. didn't see the attraction. I sometimes wonder how she calls herself gay."

Sssh... Don't say too much- she likes you, doesn't she?

THAT?! is never a concern.
