Reality Check by Dave Whamond for February 17, 2019

I expected a “Cracklin’ Rosie” gag.

I wait for a good charm-brute.

They’re all great. And love Ralph’s comment.

Vintage bottles that are no longer available – the grapeful dead?

Don’t forget …

Quay-Auntie: Best with rowdy island relatives.

For those winos just starting out there are Manfred Mann-ischewitz and Chuck Berry Hill.

I lean towards Boones Farm Tickle Pink. No pun. Just cheap hooch.

Maybe I’m missing something with the Verve Clicquot pun, but the “champaign supernova” line comes from an Oasis song, not the Verve. Que Syrah Syrah…..

I guess I’m too old – none of these strike a chord with me. Don’t recognize any of the fractured names.

I would love a bottle of Moscato Stevens – best enjoyed under a moon shadow or when morning has broken.

Very creative. Too bad they quit bottling Muscato Love after the Captain died.

And don’t forget that guy who sang Ria.

Today’s toon is ripe, juicy and fresh, with a touch of silliness on the finish.

Cello Young Lovers…

No Death Cabernet for Cutie?

Or, for those of us of a certain age, some Four Seasons Sherry?

After dinner, you could relax with some Looking Glass Brandy (it’s a fine drink).

Getting Rickrolled in a comic. Nice!

Too bad the Verve Clicquot fell flat. Do some fact-checking, Malbec Loser.

I’ll stick with a bottle of Cheap Red Wine.

Spill the wine – dig that girl!

What about a nice “Great White”?
