in my goal to drink more wine. I have not had any in several weeks (Not to worry. I have had a few beers in this time period.)

Last night I found a bottle of white wine in my garage. I don’t know where it came from but I had a couple glasses. I was pretty good and I think finishing this bottle would be a good thing to do. 1 week ago

One cup per day of good wine, stopped to make my mood up and started to make me physically sick… 2 months ago

I opened my second bottle of wine tonight. It is another red wine, Esjudo Rojo is the name. It is a product of Chile.

And we are in the middle of a blizzard….. 3 months ago

finished that bottle of red wine I opened some time ago.

So what should be next, maybe a nice white wine? 3 months ago

tonight after swim class.

I asked my wife if she wanted a glass. She did not.

But she did ask me why I was so into drinking wine all of a sudden.

I replied, “It must be the swimming. I think swimming increases one’s craving for wine.”

“Really?” was her response.

“Well, I’m drinking more wine since I have been swimming, so there must be something to it.”

“Oh, OK.” she says.

Sometimes it is just too easy. 3 months ago

I opened the other night is almost gone.

I gave my wife a glass last night, but she did not like it.

Guess I have to drink the rest of it by myself. 3 months ago

Nope, I have never been a wine drinker. I’m a beer drinker. I just like to drink beer much more than wine. But we have a lot of bottles of wine around the house. People give them as gifts, especially around the holidays. So we have a lot of wine around the house.

Some of my new recipes call for small amounts of wine and i always feel it is a waste to open a bottle for just a half cup or less. But tonight I thought; If I open the bottle and drink some, well then it will be worth it to open the bottle. Hence the creation of this goal.

So I found a nice 2010 California red wine I needed for a soup I was making. It is coming to a boil now. I am having a glass now. It is pretty good. I didn’t look at the label until just now. It is called Menage a Trois.

A couple thousand comments just raced through my mind, but I’ll leave those to you guys. 4 months ago
