Long ago, sometime in the last century, I was one of those who was impressed by an expensive bottle of wine. Acted like I could tell the difference between them, learned all the buzzwords, swirled and sniffed. Found out that the cheap ones taste just as good. Now I horrify people when I add ice cubes. LOL

A relative sent this email to me, I guess this is from the series Cheers....Makes sense to me...<gg>

The Theory of Intelligence
I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this:


'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human braincan only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills bra in cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'

I'll take any cheap wine recommendations you have. My palate can't tell the difference between expensive wine and cheap wine. It all costs too much for my pocket book, but a little good wine would be nice once in a while.

I like whiskey and scotch. Just a little finger once in a while.
