What We're Drinking Tonight
The bottle on the left is a Marietta Angeli Cuvée, a 2003 Alexander Valley red wine recommended by our waitress at lunch yesterday. The second bottle is a Pillar Red Box from Australia ~ a shiraz/cab/merlot blend that the purveyor at the liquor store insisted was damn near as yummy as the cuvée, as well as a smidge under half its price. So.
major dad has spent all day smoking country style ribs, I've doctored up some Stouffer's mac and cheese with kick-ass extra sharp Cabot cheddar and we will put said vinos to the test.
Let the games begin.

::sigh::
Being old farts, we only managed to kill the cuvée BUT. It was worth every lip-schmackin' dime.

We went out to a nice dinner on Saturday with another couple and they were all laughing at me because I can't drink anything at the moment or I'll go all Karen Ann on them. So I got to play designated driver while they all laughed and drank cocktails and wine and after-dinner drinks.
Food just doesn't taste as good if it's not accompanied by wine.

He (God) causes the grass to grow for the cattle , And vegetation for the labor of man , So that he may bring forth food from the earth , AND WINE WHICH MAKES MEN'S HEARTS GLAD , So that he may make his face glisten with oil , And food which sustains man's heart . Psalm 104:14-15
Of course the ribs and Cabotized mac and cheese would make men's hearts glad as well. Enjoy!

Spider, I knew Jesus was my friend as soon as I heard about him bringing the wine to the party.
The perfect guest; that's our Big Guy!

And as in the wedding reception at Cana, Jesus will even make more on the spot if you should run out.
