And Five Friends, that's a good label for a night with some girlfriends. Winking Owl just sounds like it will make me wise if I drink it, and I love Left Foot Charley, which happens to be the brew company of Bryan Ulbrich, a friend I made one summer at Camp Arcadia. Great wine.
So today, as I polished off a bottle of Rex Goliath that I opened last night at Dave and Ilona's always great New Year's Party, I thought about labels and covers, and how I tend to judge books and wine and people by them. We talk about how we shouldn't, we know we shouldn't, but we do. I am beginning to think it's human nature. I remember the first time I saw Clint: the late afternoon s
Maybe first impressions aren't that bad.
And as for the Rex Goliath, I think I made a good choice. After two glasses, I'm feeling pretty lugubrious, and ready for whatever the evening may bring, whether it be a rousing game of Scrabble, popcorn and a movie, or lazy chatting with the fam. Maybe I'll help polish off the rest of the Left Foot Charley too, while I'm at it.

We tried a really good Scottish Ale the other day...Dirty Bastard. You should try it. It's not a Cabernet Sauvignon, but it is smooth, nutty, really yummy and has a good name that ranks with the others you enjoy.
P.S. I found your site :)
This is a terrific beginning for an expanded personal essay.
BTW, I'm always theming things like wine labels. For example, my graduation party was supposed to be at the beach, for which I purchased "Barefoot." (alas, I wanted to get "Booker" but surpassed my budget!!!)
