I mean, c'mon. Not three bottles of red, on a Thursday night? No no no, children, do not worry. One we had started last night, a Chateau Potensac (Medoc, 2003), to get Krstn warmed up to see Christina Aguilera at the Bell Centre. After she left, I nearly polished it off, but we still had a glass left over for the next day. The second bottle was a full-bodied Spanish Roble, PradoRey 2004, rich, robust, blackberry overtones, a bit corse, tannins, bouquet...all the good stuff, and brought by our dinner guest, Harris Newman (with whom I made a contract that night). And finally, when all that was done, we opened the mini-bottle of Italian Valpolicella 2005: light and delicious (I must say that these small bottles were a present for Krstn, who turned thirty a couple of weeks ago. She got presents on the theme of 1/3. So these are 1/3 bottles of wine...clever, no?) Anyway, I drank more than anyone else and woke up with a hangover.
