drinkin' mah wine makes me feel fine. gonna have me a holiday. . . . The clock strikes 5:30 and I'm out the door with a sonic boom. Went down to the much-heralded Trader Joe's in Manhattan. Grabbed a bottle of Goats Do Roam from the Republic of South Africa and some cheap shit. No, wait. Everything at Trader Joe's is cheap shit. My mistake. →[More:]

Got a good ol' buzz on. The Goats Do Roam tastes nasty when it's warm. But chill it for a little while and DAMN! That shit's got some character.

Very spicy. Full-bodied. Dense. I'm feeling no pain right now. And I never get drunk off wine.

All I need is a rich man's daughter and my evening will be complete.

I was introduced to Goats Do Roam recently, and I've got to say, it's not bad a-tall. I didn't know you could buy it at Trader Joe's, though.

On the other hand, I'm here to tell you, if you're hosting a brunch, and you want to do the mimosas right, stop by Trader Joe's and pick up some of their five buck sparkling wine -- I swear, it makes the most outstanding mimosas.

Mmmm, Goats Do Roam is good. I'm experimenting and drinking some 3 for $9.99 wine from Spain, like I used to do in college, except then it was 3 for $7 and from Bulgaria. If I don't have a raging hangover tomorrow then the experiment was worthwhile. (I discovered that cheaper wine has less flavor, hey!)

If I do have a hangover, then the leftover carne guisada in the refrigerator will cure me.

Oh, and ex-bartender of seven years speaking here. I know my mimosas (and most other drinks), I tell you.
