BYCU I have four grape vines. I'm expecting (hoping/praying for) big things from them this year, since it's their third year. Everything looks good so far, with lots of bunches growing. They're all edible grapes, however. Nothing good for wine. If you'

Friday Drinking Thoughts "[C]onversation, hilarity and drink are connected in a profoundly human, peculiarly intimate way." Kingsley Amis. Amen to that. It's no doubt a thought that all the world's great drinkers, including Chesterton and Belloc, would agree with. Amis would go on

BYCU Walgreens is getting rid of wine. Marie picked me up these bottles of Liberty Creek sweet red. Pretty sweet find. I plan on cracking one tonight, unless I opt for the Barefoot sweet red that Walgreens was also blowing out. Brutal week. Due to some administrative incompetence, a cracked

It's been years since I spent more than $10 on a bottle of wine, but I bought this bottle a bottle of Marietta Old Vine earlier this week. I'm waiting for a special occasion to drink it. I suspect the special occasion will arrive in a

BYCU I'm not sure why it's newsworthy, but it's definitely brewsworthy: Pat Sajak says he and Vanna White got drunk before Wheel of Fortune tapings back in the day [http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/01/26/pat-sajak-says-vanna-white-got-drunk-before-wheel-fortune-tapings-back-in-day/] .
