Blog and a Glass of Wine

Scientific news today has almost confirmed that drinking wine helps you live longer. While this has been speculated for several years, several Stanford scientists have proven that mice that eat large amounts of chocolate cake and drink lots of wine live longer than mice who have an ordinary diet. This research must be great because it is from Stanford and so is Google, Yahoo, and many more great things. But how do we know it is not the chocolate cake that help the mice live longer or that they only fed hamburger helper to the other mice? Think about it.

Well, regardless, i've decided to blog and drink a glass of cheap Pinot Noir and Jacob's Creek Wine. The wine has made me reluctantly accept that only two people have read my blog and they have not come back. But that is ok, I do it for the love. Or perhaps because I have nothing else to do.

The Shiraz is like a cold refreshing glass of Boone's. What is Boone's? You obviously did not get out much in High School. Boone's was bottle wine that cost $1.19 and for whatever reason, any 16 year old in South Carolina could get ahold of it. I think it is because the local convenient store could not get rid of the inventory.

The Pinot Noir is nothing more comparable than a glass of Thunderbird wine. Thunderbird never broke the $.99 threshhold for a bottle and it tasted as though someone squashed grapes in a glass and mixed it with moonshine. But let me tell you, there was nothing like it on a Friday night, roasted marshmellows, and getting down on the farm.

I'd be happy to hear about your "Blog and Wine" posts. Feel free to tell me about your best Boone's stories.
