Jennifer in MI Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Cheers!!!! I'll join you. My husband and three boys went to an election night party. I drew the short straw and got gymnastics with dd. I was hoping to go to the party after gym, but Meg was falling asleep in the car. And, to make matters worse? We got rid of cable a month ago. So, I'm glued to the computer tonight!!!! And, a wine glass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm too cold to drink wine. I could manage a warm shower and a nice chilled glass of wine afterward. Dh is already asleep, not feeling well. Ds is bored and the dog is whiny. I could use the wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) At least share what kind! :drool: :D Innovac!on Shiraz Cabernet, a decent cheap wine. ETA And a litre instead of 750ml. I have some moscato in the fridge, waiting for a friend. Let's hope it doesn't come to that though, as it is probably only about 4%. :tongue_smilie: Edited November 7, 2012 by nmoira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting because they are dosed heavily with a hop from New Zealand called Nelson Sauvin rather than the ubiquitous Cascade hops so common in west-coast brews. It is good.
