Yes yes I’m a day late, and a dollar short. That said, this month, we have a special theme for Wine Blogging Wednesday #49.
In light on the current political climate and the impending election, David Honig of 2 Days Per Bottle has asked us to toast to the end of this madness we call the Bush era.
What will I drink to toast this momentous occasion? It certainly will not be something to honor the President, although I will be celebrating his demise.
If Obama wins the election, as I hope he does, I will be toasting with a lovely bottle of Champagne. The current candidate is Perrier-Jouët NV Brut, which my friend Liza the Brix Chick brought over to my house before an event on Sunday. In this tasty sparkler, I found creamy toast, hazelnuts, and a lemony backnote. Ahhh refreshign!
IF however, my worst nightmare comes true and McLame & Caribou Barbie win this freak show, I will be drowning my sorrows in some good single malt scotch as I drive up to the border to escape. My favorite single malt thse days is Glenmorangie Sherry Cask, but that, is another blog post me thinks!
Happy drinking!
Excellent point Kurt!On both the bubbly and Mexico. I just don't know if i can handle the Tequila…
I'm with you on the bubbly, probably some blanc de noirs. But I think that Mexico is the new Canada for potential ex-pats, especially with the USD/CAD exchange rate these days!
