red wines

[Innkeeper]

OK you pre-verts, today we were up in Bangor stocking up for our family invasion this weekend. After spending all our money we went to Applebees for what was our major meal of the day, and charged it. I had the Steak Madeira with mushrooms chardonnay, and all the trimmings. The best wine by the glass they offered was Mondavi Private Selection (a.k.a. Coastal) Cabernet Sauvignon. It came to the table very warm. Dropped a small cube from Mother's water into the glass of wine, and it improved it muchly. Did the same with second glass. Dan Berger and others recommend this in these situatations, so get your fingers out of your throats.

After getting home and unloading, I got into a bottle of Bleasdale 'Mulberry Tree' Cab. Had to leave for a meeting, and got home in time to finish it with some nice Canadian chedder. LIfe is good.
