Tonights wine tasting:
We just opened a bottle we purchased at Perugino (yes, they sell fine wines as well as the best latte' in town) and uncorked it for a little late night Tivo. Truly the nectar of someone's Gods!
Were it not so late and the threat of a DUI, I would go and fetch another bottle. It is on the shelf on the right, second shelf up, thin bottle.

2005 Late Harvest Chenin Blanc
Yakima Valley

"The aroma bursting with tropical fruit, apricot, pear, peach, and honey entwine on the delicate nose of our 2005 Late Harvest Chenin Blanc. The concentration of tropical and stone fruit flavors are augmented by notes of honey, apple and very ripe citrus fruits. The core flavors are supported by backbone of bright acidity impeccably balanced with the residual sugar in the wine for a refreshing finish. For a memorable experience match our 2005 Late Harvest Chenin Blanc with fruit based desserts, flavorful cheeses and crème brule."

Released: September 2006

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and those who don't.
As Ben Franklin said: 'In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom,
in water there is bacteria '
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated
that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we
would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) -
bacteria found in feces In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila,
rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a
purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of ****.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing i as a public service
