Week 23: Throw a Wine Tasting Party

I think there was a movie about an evil number 23 once.  Jim Carey was in it.  He was scared of 23 for some reason.  I can't really relate, numbers don't frighten me.  Except prime numbers, but that's because its a lifestyle choice I disagree with.

Now where were we?  Week 23 has arrived and brought with it a new drawer Michael.

Generally speaking you should always look at things you stick your hands into

The result, takes some explaining.

Warm up your Volvos!

To explain.  Once I had heard about parties where fancy wine served with the bottles hidden in bags.  To encourage culture or something.

Like this but with more cheese

Never being one to miss jumping on a fad 10 years too late I thought "I should have my own party".  But, with the cheapest, nastiest hobo-iest wine I could fine.   I can invite anyone and everyone to come and taste from boxes, jugs and cans of wine covered up to see who has the most refined pallet to distinguish Boones Farm from Night Train. Franzia from Bartles and Jaymes. 

And cheese, the finest cheese in cans, or in jars.  Paired with delectable fruit roll-ups.  Surely, with a party like this I will secure my place alongside Gatsby.

So, I'm off to do some planning, I'll need a venue, a menu and then you, dear reader, are more than welcome to attend the first ever 2014 semi annual wine-o wine tasting party.

I'll probably have to work on the name.

Watch this space.

Thursday

Well it's Thursday, and the spectre of failure has colored my life.

Yes, that Spectre

 

As you may have guessed I have not held a wine tasting party.  Unfortunately, my work chose this exact week to demand I actually put forth effort.  What a bunch of turd burglers.

Sometimes postponement can lead to wonderful things though, just ask anyone on death row.

So, dear readers, keep an eye out for the update to come hopefully next week.  In the meantime enjoy this inspiration:

Wine comes in at the mouth.  And love comes in at the eye.
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die
-William Butler Yeats

Change the spelling and word order and that becomes a very dirty quote.
