Plungerhead
Over the weekend, my friends and I made home-made pizzas and enjoyed this bottle of wine. Great for this occasion. Love the label and plunger cork.

Utah Wine Selection
Living in Utah, I am forced to shop the state liquor stores. The selection is mediocre and the sales are never good. And when I check out, even though I’m 28, they make me feel like I’m an under-age teen breaking the law by constantly, giving me the third degree.
On top of that, its nearly impossible and super expensive to get wine shipped in from online stores. I subscribe to the Wine Spectator but it is always a disappointment when I can’t get a hold of some of the great wines they recommend.
Any suggestions on a good reasonably priced shipping company?
November 21, 2009 – It had been a few years since I had been out of the state. LOL. I was visiting my husband’s family in Reno for Thanksgiving and my mother-in-law and I were grocery shopping for the holiday feast.
As I crossed the threshold into the store I was instantly attracted to the tower of wine at the entrance of the store. But it didn’t stop there, I would spend time at the end of each aisle where the store had their best wine deals displayed, staring in awe. Every time I met up with my mother-in-law in the store I would be standing in front of a different display. She was getting the idea that I was possibly an alcoholic but that was all put to rest when as we were leaving, I explained, “It is just so great that they sell liquor in the grocery store”.
I was literally a kid in a candy store.
Blow Your Mind Wine – ‘Are You Experienced’
I start of this blog by referring to legendary Jim Hendrix, “Are You Experienced”, which many think is about experiencing LSD. But maybe this song’s meaning goes beyond a single synthetic high and asks people if they have taken a moment from the routine of every day life to relax and enjoy the simpler things in life. Break through even though, “you’ll probably scream n’ cry. That your little world won’t let go.” Its not easy to let go, which I seem to experience at the beginning of every vacation…always takes a few days and a few glasses of wine to release the stress and get into vacation mode.
So is there a memory to which you shared with friends and family a nice bottle of wine that helped you become ‘Experienced’ – helped you enjoy life a little bit more?
