You know I do it purely for medical reasons.
Quoted: 4. Drink a glass of wine a day. Don't start drinking wine just to fight ab fat, but if you enjoy a glass with dinner, it's a great benefit. Some studies even suggest that light to moderate drinking protects against female midsection weight gain, compared with teetotaling. Based on a review of data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics, one 4-ounce glass of red or white wine most days a week (up to 20 a month) seems to be best.

Quoted: French Rabbit has taken the drink container to a new level with their innovative wine packaging. Instead of using the traditional glass bottles, they've developed their own version of a drink box to sell their wine in, and the results are pretty interesting. The box weighs just about four percent of an ordinary glass wine bottle, meaning it would take 25 trucks filled with bottles to equal one truck filled with empty Rabbits. The package itself is made from polyethelene, aluminum foil and paperboard, so it's 100% recyclable, and its collapsible, which reduces waste volume by about 90 percent. The twist-on cap makes using cork a thing of the past. While it may seem strange to drink wine from what amounts to an oversized juice box, reviews have been positive;

This wine is so mild, it's misleading to how strong it is. I know, it makes no sense, just like all wine description, but it is good. I'm not sure how it's worth $55.00, but.... well, I'd do anything to improve my wine street cred, even if that means spending my retirement savings.
I'd recommend it if it were on sale. Really nice mild taste.

I bought some wine from here today, and met Kyle, a tremendously knowledgable person who works there. We talked about wine bars, and why they haven't worked out too well here in Seattle.
It's an interesting puzzle. Seattle does not lack wine or wine enthusiasts. Washington is the second largest wine producer in the United States. So why have wine bars taken off like madness in Portland, San Francisco, Boulder, and not here in Seattle?
I have toyed with the idea of a wine bar in Seattle for a long time, so this, in a way, discourages me, but in another way, makes me think: What would make it work???
Anyway, if you need help with wine, I'd really recommend this place. Tell Kyle and Michael (the owner) Nikki sent you!
Quoted: In Seattle's Pike Place Market for 25 years, Pike and Western Wine shop stocks fine wines from the Pacific Northwest, California, Italy, France and around the world.

Must make stew...
1 FaverViewed: 2 TimesQuoted: This is a marvelous autumn potluck dinner. Everyone will be very impressed with this thick beef stew made and served in a pumpkin shell! Use a 10 to 12 pound pumpkin; be sure not to overbake!
