Wednesday Wineblogging

This week we present a special musical edition [MP3] of WW....in honor of two of our most favorite readers who just received manna from heaven high-speed DSL and can now enjoy listening while reading.

As for the wine, tonight we're starting out with a 2003 Bridgman Viognier, and then we might move on to a red for dinner if we're still thirsty. Lyrics via David Dodd:

Gone are the days when the ox fall down
he'd take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said "please,
gently Jack Jones won't you come to me?"
Brown eyed women and red grenadine
the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down
and it looks like the old man's getting on

In 1920 when he stepped to the bar
he drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar
In 1930 when the Wall caved in
he paid his way selling red eye gin

The wine is from the PNW, the song is about 'stils in the PNW, sounded like a good pairing to me. Plus, I'm an old hippie and I just really like the Grateful Dead

After we're done drinking, we might try our hand at quail hunting.
