Last weekend, I accidentally opened up a top shelf bottle of wine and didn't even know it until I saw the empty bottle the next day.

In fairness to me, the top shelf variety of this vineyard uses a label almost indistinguishable from that of their standard variety.

This incident underscores the dangers of drinking while drunk. I will never make that mistake again.

"top shelf" to me does not necessarily equal "top quality" or "top tasting".

i like to go to my local wine shop and ask for the best bottle of wine in the store that costs less than $15 bucks. I have yet to be disappointed.

That is not to say that i do not enjoy a bottle of Silver Oak - Napa Cab every now and then! :tophat:

TTK, maybe next time you might lock up the stuff you don't want to drink, so at least it'll be difficult to get to. I make sure I'm not driving, I'm someplace easy to get home from ,etc.

How will that work, exactly?

Very simple. Drink beer.

When you can snatch pebble from my hand, time for you to leave...

occasionally, likely, too often, i wake up with a wild turkey rare breed bottle emptied beside me, and often, with a dozen or more lps carefully strewn around the room, with no new scratches.

records and hooch are a cheaper hobby than fillys, i reckon.

i'm not sure what that says about me or rare breed or lps, but i'm sure i don't want to know.

I gave up beer drinking about 15 years ago in hopes of not getting fat. Looking at my avatar, you can see how that worked out. ;)

See, the secret to that is to do a lot of coke while you drink a lot. You stay thin, stay alert, and can be twice as obnoxious. Win-win-win!

On a related note, I will sometimes walk into the record room on a Saturday or Sunday morning and see an album on the turntable and have no idea how it got there. ;)

you aren't as far along as myself, it appears, but on the other hand, you haven't listened, and loved, as many old kostelanetz mood vinyls as i have.

i never did get used to that 'modern' kostelanetz crap from the late 50s.

Do you have the 12" 78 album "Exotic Music" on Columbia? 4 tunes, 1 tune each side of two 12" 78s. He does "Lotus Land," "Flamingo," "Song of India" and "Poinciana." I am pretty sure that these are different arrangements/recordings than those that appeared on the early '50s Columbia LP "Lure of the Tropics," but I have never compared. Absolutely sublime.

sad to say, no kosty 78s here, but i do have some 10 inchers.

in fact, i just picked up a pristine ' tropics' lp this month for 50 cents.

teasing, if you are that deep into the kosty, you may be more hopeless than i previously thought.

those early arrangements were incredible. then he turned the arranging over to a varied crew of pop arrangers.
