Drink & be merry....

22 Feb 2006, Wednesday

Went to Mediacorp Publishing to collect my prize of Jacob's Creek wine hamper ...finally after dilly-dallying for 2 months! Part of the reason is because I am not exactly crazy over red wines.I got Shiraz and the grand-daddy of the reds - the idiosyncratic Cabernet Sauvignon, two full-bodied wines too rich for my palate...White suits me better with the natural effervescence, perfectly in sync with an optimistic personality. My favourites are the Chadonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, both sweetly intoxicating, which belies their ability to knock you out....(My next target is of course Champagne..... the wine and maybe hopefully to visit the place some day!)

But of course I'd never drink to the extent of puking or getting swoshed. It's just plain idiocy to relinquish control of your brain, your body and your soul to the poison of excessiveness. Who knows what will happen to you in the interval between lucidity and a state of drunken stupor?

It's better to savour every drop slowly...

Anyway, I am stuck with the two handsome-looking bottles adorning my dining table...What can I do with it? Even my brother doesn't want it..... have pledged one for drinking session with MH, T and C though... Hopefully soon... wouldn't want to have three sitting idly and occupying precious space in my home (there's one bought for A at DFS but haven't met up with him yet).

Looking forward to the day to bottoms up to enjoy our high. Cheers!
