A looong day of racking at the winery?! Whew, exhausting! Somebody get me a good glass of wine, ASAP!
Sometimes, all you could ever want or need is a simple glass of red wine to refresh the soul. It's just my luck that when this is my utmost desire, it's the hardest thing to come by.
The first wine we opened was sad and flabby and cheap tasting; major flop! So the wine key squeaked it's way into bottle #2.

...and straight toward continued misfortune. What should've been a mouthwatering 1er Cru Fixin (old vine Pinot Noir) smelled of pungent, sweaty cardboard. Totally corked. *sad face*
Attempted beverage #3 smelled kinda funky... whoops! Somebody wiped the glasses with a stinky dish rag. Let's try a freshly polished Reidel---GAH, this Fronsac is completely over-the-hill. Seriously?! My quick glass of something delicious has turned into an absurd hunt through the cellar.
But then, redemption! Beautiful aromas of blue flowers, white pepper, and cherry liqueur instantly emanated from the fourth freshly popped bottle. Sweet, sultry reparations to my palate. Thank you Domaine Dupeuble for your revitalizing 2010 Beaujolais.
Now if only this could prevent the inevitable soreness I'll be feeling in the morning!
