Wine Glasses, Tasting, etc...

While I do agree that there is something to differences in glasses, etc, and I certainly agree that areating wine has strong effects on taste, both short-term (1 minute) and middle term (1 hour), I am reminded of this famous Russian River vintage.

Go about halfway down the page, look for Stu.

I like the "Sonoma Beach." But just the other day I saw a bottle of "Fat Ass Cabernet."

I currently have a bottle of "Cheap White Wine"

That's the brand name

I'm saving it for a special occasion

I've seen that and Cheap Red at a local store. If you mix them half and half, do you get "Cheap Rose' "?

Good idea!

I might do just that

Just imagine how impressed my next date will be when I whip out those bottles.

Then I can take her to dinner and show here I have class by allowing her to Super Size her meal
