Barbarians.

For coffee, we have a nice vintage from 1:00 pm.

They want to pass on my 1978 Boone’s Farm Rose?

I don’t think I have that flavor. Oh, you mean. . .??

I’d be a total failure here. If I spent that much time selecting, I couldn’t give it up!

This means:

A) All your wine has spoiled. The cellar alone was not cool enough.

B) Your wine just isn’t very good.

C) You have been down here all night and it is now morning.

D) You know it’s morning, this is a breakfast. You are in the process of selecting your breakfast wine.

My wife and I are not wine snobs, but we do appreciate a decent bottle with a good meal or sometimes just relax on the back porch with two straws in the summertime.

We have a small room which is sort of an antechamber to the porch – we had wine racks built in.

We must have about 50 bottles of wine there.

That’s OK. So you go to the so-called “health food” emporium for a few items such as rye flour, sorghum (the grain, not molasses), or raw wheat germ. None of them are stocked. But they have 200 types of coffee packed on the shelves.

So a nice Robusto Noir it is.

darn! and I just found the dandelion 2019 I wanted them to taste!

My choice of wine was for me, give the guests burnt coffee.

At least he gets to keep the good stuff for himself.

We had homemade wine. Yuck!

“More wine for ME, then.”

Lest we forget T.J. Swan!

That’s OK, this is for me.

What kind?…..

The wine cellar will keep.
