I think you know what I'm talking about.
My sister-in-law gave it to me. She is a savvy shopper and wine drinker, and she likes to be prepared. I admire that about her.
I like to plan ahead, and fall is a hectic time around here, so I did this ...
Yes, I did. I bought the box. My husband threatened divorce.
Honestly, the wine tasted fine. However, inside the box is a plastic ... well, bladder. It holds the wine and shrinks down as the wine gets poured. That's not the worst thing in the world ... but ... next time I went to the store I just bought the bottle.
Recently we went to a wedding and got these favors.
I know, it's been done before. But I appreciated it all the same.
My oldest son is applying to colleges this fall. A lot of pressure, a lot do do, a lot of emotion. Sometimes I just need to wine down. How do you like your wine?
Oh honey. The box is on the third or fourth shelf up. I go for the bottom shelf. At Winco I can get Oak Leaf Chard, Cab, Zin, Grigio, and even Sauv Blanc for just $3.23 a bottle. Yes, you heard it here. And it's very easy for me to reach since I'm only 5 foot 2. I just have to bend over a slight bit. It's all so helpful. Why, if I hadn't had my special vintage last summer at the Shakespeare festival, I never would've understood the plot to Into The Woods. It's the little things in life.......
