some days are better than others

[Ken Gargett]

ducked around to the family's place to see the new puppy and watch the broncs play the titans and what a trainwreck that was.

sister says that when she was getting out some old towels etc from the linen cupboard for the new dog, there was a box of wine at the back that must be mine. it would be no one else's in the house. no one else in the family has ever bought a bottle of wine in their lives. i'm thinking it is probably some 20 year old bottles of savvy i brought around for her and her friends but which got put away and forgotten. 

open it up. one bottle top level and three below. the top bottle has penfolds grange wrapping. i can't imagine what is going on.

a 1991 grange. one of my absolute fave vintages though where the hell it came from??? i can only think i must have grabbed it years ago at some sale? no recollection. 

the lower level? another three 91 Grange. woohoo. i suspect that they won't be perfect given the storage but they have not been moved for 20 years and in the dark and even though the temp would have been higher than desirable it would have been consistent. 

who deserves it more....

$1500 a bottle? 

never ever forget that you are worth it

hey, if you are going to dream, dream big.

you know my views on reds and cigars so the chances of one of these being wasted like that is not high.

westy, we have many reds because it is simply not worth the hassle of arguing with whipcrack about this. if i don't provide a good red, the toys go out of the pram. 

he brings a pre-castro lusi or something of equal magnificence then he might have a chance but after he spat my 25 year old rum over the balcony railings it means he has a lot to make up.

Heh.   Yea.  Some days are better....
