wine addition to yesterday's entry

Wait Wait

Yesterday's blog bit talked about our trip to Ok City for the dance. If you remember, it started out as a bit about wine. I left the best part out because I had vowed to stop after 15 minutes.

.

Here it is.

.

One evening staying in Marshall's bachelor pad that trip, he decided he was going to introduce us to the finer things in life - namely - wine. Friends were over. He dug out some glasses and dug out his wine. Pouring liberally he filled the glasses for Jim and me.

.

Naturally, Jim had no problem drinking that vile stuff. Marshall swore to me that it was a sweet wine and was really good. So, coming down off my high horse, I gave the glass a try. That stuff was terrible. It made the inside of my mouth shrivel. I do believe Jim finished off my portion.

.

Marshall = the great wine educator = did introduce us to the finest wine.

You may wonder the brand - how I can remember this bit so many years past, I just don't know.

He fed us Mogen David red wine. It was a very pretty bottle with the little basket woven around the base. I leave you with this - Want to introduce a high school prude to the joys of wine? Don't buy the sweet Mogen David variety with the cute basket. Won't work.

That's it.
