Deconstructing A Wine Party  -  Feb 23rd, 2009 4:11pm

I am a connoisseur of many things.  Cinema, Music, beer, even video games.  A connoisseur of wine I am not.  In fact, my experience with the substance really comes down to color.  There is white, red, pink and occasionally carbonated wine.  This may not be the depth of my knowledge but it is definitely all that I'm willing to be taxed on in public.

So when a person like myself attends a "wine party" there is only 1 option for determining what amongst the absurd # of wines to bring.  Which wine has the coolest freaking bottle of course!  And so me and my wine, homed in a cat shaped vessel of soft orange glass attended and almost instantly derailed Scott and Julie's wine party to the joy of most and the shame of a few.

Here are a list of things that I learned from the wine party:

• I don't really like white wine.
• I don't really like good wine.
• I don't really like desert wine.
• I really like wine made up of 1/3 cheap red wine, cheap desert wine, and fancy blackberry red wine - henceforth referred to as mo-berry wine.
• Everyone likes mo-berry wine.
• Everyone hates to admit they like mo-berry wine.
• Always bring the most absurd bottle of wine you can to a wine party as it brings nothing but laughter and joy... it also ruins any semblance of a serious evening which is good for everyone.

Another night of fuzzy logic and adults acting like kids.  Another great evening, and another bunch of photos that tell a story all their own.
