I try not to be embarrassed when Renee
asks for her glass of "Sutter Home".
But knowing the grocer sells the whole
bottle for that $5 also makes me wince, ha.
I suppose the truth is that the quality of
most sweet dull commercial wines is actually
fairly outstanding. I can't say that I have
ever had bad or spoiled wine, and I probably
have never spent more than $10 or $20--and
usually just under $10 is the sweet spot,
no pun.
I read a beer article that pointed out that for
the price, the quality of Budwieser lager is
unsurpassed. And I guess it is true. Although,
what I really like to do is sample, say, seven
little sampler beers all in a row, lighter to dark.
Getting a little thirsty. I could kick myself for
missing the beer thing in Fremont (our Seattle
Fremont) this weekend. The weather here today is
just perfect, 65 degrees, not a cloud--we found
the first of the wooly bear caterpillers at the
park this morning. I love autumn, really ought to
skip the first part of my shift and head to Fremont. |
