Drinking, check. Shopping….check

I feel the same way about wine as I do about a really beautiful dress; I don’t care how its made or who makes it…and I am willing to spend a little more if I really love it. I don’t want to use colorful language to discuss it with my dinner-mates, I just want to look pretty wearing it (or drinking it.)

Given this, having me recommend a wine is really preposterous but I am going to forge ahead anyway. It is “The Show” 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon.

I selected this wine for three reasons; one, Goot told me I HAVE to pay at least $10 for a good bottle (bye-bye Sutter Home), two, the wine guy at Pacific Ranch Market recommended it (and it is pitiful how easily influenced I am) and most importantly, three, I really liked the label. Though my last reason may sound silly, it turns out I was very keen to be attracted to the Hatch Show Print on the bottle.

The boys at Three Thieves couldn’t decide which label they liked best out of the three Hatch sent them, so they went with them all. I like their attitude.

Checking out the website at The Hatch Show Print, I found these very cool t-shirts.

And these prints.

(Ordered both t-shirts and prints for the very hard-to-buy-for Joey and Larry for x-mas. Don’t tell them.)

Yes, the wine is very good…..excuse me, it is big and bold with layers of spice and sweet vanilla.
And I got some Christmas shopping done. Yeah for me!
