My wine for this evening. A bottle of HOPE (picture).
I was in Whole Foods just now and couldn't resist this, just in case I need a bit to settle my nerves.




How cool is that? Plus, I like Shiraz. Even better.

:hi:

1. Let me know if it's any good.
This could be my Official Election Night Wine.

I have stocked up on some killer Roche Estate Cab, but I am all for Hope.

Don't forget to let me know.

Do you have a Vinturi?

http://vinturi.com/

If not, get one.

It will change your life (or at least the wine part of it, anyway). This is not an exaggeration.

2. I purchased a bottle of Spanish Sparkling wine. Now if I decide to party downtown
with the rest of the Democrats, I will get something there. I have not decided yet.

5. So, how is the mood in CowTown?
I would love to be there, if Obama prevails.

7. OMG--that Vinturi looks amazing!
We have a wine decanter, but I've never seen anything like that. Thanks for the tip on that. :)

8. It is about the coolest thing I have ever seen.
No matter how good it sounds, it's better.

I have yet to find a wine that it doesn't improve.

You can open a bottle of anything cheap to fine, pour a glass through the thing, and it will be better than if you had decanted it an hour ago.

I have started taking it to restaurants.

If you cannot find one, let me know.

I have an inside track....

6. What a perfect wine. . .and. . that led me to do a fast search
and guess what I found? Isn't this interesting?

http://www.hopewine.com/

Now I'm sure it's a different brand, but I did'nt know there was any wine like this out there. . .:-)


Now enjoy your Hope. My choice for tomorrow night is an Australian sparkling wine called "Pink"
