Have you ever woken up and immediately started laughing?
Holy Goodness, did I have fun last night. Might be one of the most fun nights in recent memory. Oh where to begin...
Well, my sweet friend, who just so happens to be in the wine business, calls and says he's bottling the '07 and is grabbing the first bottle off the line and would I meet him at Ruth's Chris for dinner...[see where this is going, already?]
Hmmmm, I get to be the first person to try Boyanci's newest release...
I get to hang out with him...[he's really fun]...
And I get to do it at my favorite restaurant...
eating the best ribeye in the world!
Ahhh yea! Sign me up for that! [I'm hearing some Black-Eyed Peas in my head]
And so it begins...
Firstly, pulling up to Ruth's Chris makes my mouth water. Seriously, I am still in the car and I can smell grilled meat! I don't know what they do, but they put some love in their food. I'd like to think it's me; like when someone really likes you and they cook you dinner and you can taste the emotion? Kind of like that, yet I'm pretty sure the guys in the kitchen don't know/care that the steak is for me...but it makes me feel good all the same!
Now, onto the Boyanci...here's where the laughter begins. So, I taste the wine first ,with a big giant disclosure from my friend that this wine has been through some major "bottle shock". He explains that when a wine first gets bottled it's a little agitated, or sharp...slightly edgy.
But I am thinking to myself...what am I missing? This doesn't taste sharp. This doesn't taste adgitated. This wine reaked of elegance, The fruit was there, the tannins were big, but I could so sense where it would end up. That's even kind of ridiculous, because the only place I wanted it to end up was in my MOUTH again. Really, if it could taste like this on the day it hit the bottle, please...oh please, God let me taste it again next week, oh... and the week after, and the week....you know what I mean..
you know... for comparison reasons!
That is my take on it, but his descriptors led me to make the leap of similarities between bottle shock and PMS!
Of course, I'm only going to get away with this because I am a woman. God help the man who wants to draw these conclusions.
So, SHE's adgitated, edge-y, sharp...
but give her some time....
and now she is beautiful, elegant, tasteful...
Yet we all know that based on basic science, the attraction to her is heightened in "times" like these...
So, I am drawn to this wine, like a man who can see where it's all going to end up and with a little patience and some very loving treatment, will reap the rewards.
Ahhh, women and wine....so many similarities...
Good night so far, right?
Ohhh just wait...
So my ride is here...
It's black and white and has a passenger in the back ....cuffed!
Yep, I got to go on a "ride along"...as in the Police car!
Doughnuts, anyone? I'm not sure he sees the humor in that as much as I do!
But now, I am [just a little]happy from my wine drinking, driving in the police car, to the police station, to drop off the "detained."
Really, do we get to have doughnuts?
...Coffee?
Some sort of food/drink scenario?
Ahhh....no!
They really don't do a lot of that...at least not at this hour on a Friday night.
Now we're running plates, pulling people over ....a burglary?
But, I have to pee!
[Heather...keep your mouth shut! Cross your legs, try not to laugh! Burglaries aren't funny!... Wait!....Whaaaaat?]
Did I mention the cute factor of Mr. Policeman?
Holy hot guy! Uniform...gun...handcuffs...[okay, that's so not me, but in this moment is quite sexy!]
Now it's 1:30ish...and time for me to get out of the car. This is probably good since bars are about to close and I'm sure said "hot guy" should get said "food chick" out of the car before things get heated up!
But that was fun....I'm smiling...
Nights like these are just one more wonderful reason to be delighted with my new life...
Laughter, delicious food and fantastic wine, make for experiences....
I will not soon forget.
Crackin me up!
Crackin me up!
