March 12 | Champagne with a straw

March 12 | Champagne with a straw

After being out late the two nights before, I was exhausted. Ian went to hang out with some friends and I curled up on the couch with a fresh install of WordPress and drank champagne from a can. With a straw.

Feb. 26 | Another haul

Feb. 26 | Another haul

I don’t know if you guys understand the depths of my obsession with Malbecs. I cannot enter a liquor store and see a Malbec that I haven’t tried yet and not buy it. This is getting to be a problem because I frequent a couple of liquor stores on a regular basis, and pretty soon the only Malbecs I haven’t tried yet are going to be the really expensive ones.

The interstate was a mess going home from work on Friday night, so Ian and I stopped off at J. Barleycorn’s, a huge liquor store on one side and a beer store on the other. They had a great wine selection, including about six Malbecs I hadn’t seen before. I bought three, plus one pinot noir.

Ian got a couple of high-gravity beers, and then we went next door and bought more beer.

It was a mighty fine Friday night.
