I love Wine...
So Sunday....Karen and I took our Mothers and Munchkin (juicebox) out to do some winetasting at one of my favorite vineyards, Filippi.
I'm a member there but still love to go "sample" wines I've already tried a dozen times. In early, 2008 they released a couple of bottles, one called "Big Joe" and the other "Velluto". Both were amazing and WAY out of my budget. Usually they don't even have those for tasting. Maybe because they're friggin expense?!?!?! Well anyways, On Sunday not only were they pouring Big Joe and Velluto, but they had a special weekend price. Woooo Doggy! In my budget! I made a quick text to the G.A.C.(Glendora Association of Cyclists.) Ya, I had some extra bottles to get now. Karen and I agreed to split one and make some good grub.I could justify that. So maybe there's some benefit to this economic downturn.... CHEAP WINE!!!! People coming together to subsidize their wine habit.
And another thing.....Instead of braggin about that new boat,hi-def big screen, or piece of bling, Let's get comfortable with braggin about that amazing bargain we found. Let's shout out what cheapskates we are! Face it, we still gotta buy stuff...But we need to be good shoppers everybody and not ashamed of saving some scratch.
