Wine and… Baby Cereal? – Life on a Tightrope

I love a good glass of wine. And when I say good, I don’t mean that in an I know what I’m talking about sort of way. No, unfortunately all those educational wine tours of the Napa Valley were wasted on my undiscriminating palate. I don’t know a wine with good aroma from a stinky glass of squished grapes. But when I find something I like, and can enjoy it in my thin-lipped, over-sized, free glass from Twomey?

That is what I call a good glass of wine. Specifically, this is Beringer’s White Merlot and although you wine connoisseurs may scoff at my choice, it goes down smooth and tastes great chilled. I got enough of that room temperature beverage thing living in Europe in my younger days, thank-you-very-much, so I’m not a fan of the red wine. Well, that and the fact that it gets me drunk faster than doing tequila shots off of Jeremy’s belly.

So tonight, the baby is in bed, Alison is out swimming with her dad, and I am free to enjoy the bottle of White Merlot I finally found in stock. I just had to find my favorite wine glass first. Is it telling that boxes of baby food have taken over the cupboard where the wine glasses are kept, and I only just now noticed?
