Nope, buy whatever vintage is current, probably 07, just a cheap Merlot under $10. Trust me, delicious. Another from Chile if you have a wine steward by you, ask for Santa Ema Reserve Merlot from Chile. Probably around $12 but killer. The Red Diamond though is the best deal $8-9

Wheee....go out of control!

I'm going to have to see if I can find that wine around here. Maybe tomorrow.

The store should have it if it has a decent wine dept. If not, ask if you can order a bottle of each as a special order if they do that. Doesnt cost more. They just talk to their wine rep and will bring in on their regular order. Not sure what the liquor laws are like where you are, if you buy wine and beer at a grocery store or state controlled store. In Oregon we have to buy hard liquor from a state store and wine/ wine from grocery store.

Me, I have lots of samples... I will share at BM if you are interested.

Just finished a bottle of that!!

I love my new wine aerater I got for xmas... Every wine I've tried is sooo much better with it!

Another hot shower, 2nd one today, now for some more tea.. UGH

I can buy wine in the grocery store, but can't buy until after noon.

I think I just may go fire up my shower and warm up that way too. Great idea Victorian

Victorian · Post by **Victorian** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:06 pm

A hot shower can be a cure for so many things...
A cold, stress, cleaning up after a hot night between the sheets...

Take your pick.. hah

Hi Victorian

I have that also, the Vinturi aerator. It does work great. I am impressed

ragabashpup · Post by **ragabashpup** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:14 pm

A hot bath right now sounds like an amazing idea.
I am horrified though because the only bathtub in my house is in my kids bathroom. I havent been in there in about a week *shudder*

The aerator or the bathtub?

The aerator I believe I bought on amazon. Includes free shipping. here is the link:

This has dropped alot in price. I paid more. Great deal. You can buy it used also on that link, a bit cheaper.

Yes, that's a great tub.

ragabashpup · Post by **ragabashpup** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:26 pm

I was talking about the bathtub. I don't drink wine it makes me feel all gross. Not really 100% sure why that is. Someone was telling me it can be some sort of something that is in the wine. If you can tell I paid a lot of attention when they were talking about it

winebuff · Post by **winebuff** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:27 pm

I wish the tub was mine

The sulfites in wine probably give you a hard time, red wine right? If anyone gets headaches from wine, try white wine. Less headaches cuz of the sulfites fyi

I love the bathtub too. Copy and paste. Internet is great isnt it? Shows us all the things we wished we had.....

ragabashpup · Post by **ragabashpup** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:37 pm

I haven't tried to drink wine often. Last time I did it was a wine tasting tour thing. So I was switching back and forth between red and white and not even drinking much of either since it was a tasting. My brain was killing me afterward.

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:44 pm

How about one of these?

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:46 pm

a solution for both issues?

ragabashpup · Post by **ragabashpup** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:47 pm

Alright too many bathtubs on the screen. I am going to head offline for a bit. Still not daring enough to bring the laptop into the bath/bathroom with me for fear of all the bad things that will happen to me/it.

Maybe I will chat at you later since I am trapped in the house tonight!

Happy drinking everyone!

I'm out too. Goodnight all!
