A Necessary Option

Sometimes necessity is the mother of unusual choices.  After a long day, sometimes a glass of wine and something to eat is a necessity more than an option or choice.    

Thusly tonight I had the pleasure of a pot of Amy's Organic Mac N' Cheese and a glass of Barefoot Chardonnay.   As you can see by the awesome golf ball stopper, the Chardonnay had already been opened prior to my arrival and drinking.  (It was used for a pork shoulder recipe.)  You can also see, if you look closely, that a spoon is the preferred utensil for mac n' cheese.  Mac n' cheese is best eaten out of the vessel it is cooked in so as not to miss a morsel of cheese. 

Sometimes wine is just for drinking with no further thought than that.  Sometimes you drink a wine because it is cold, has some alcohol in it and provides a certain amount of refreshment.  In those circumstances the Barefoot Chardonnay was exactly what the doctor ordered.  Fresh fruit of apricots and pineapple with a little bit of vanilla cream.  The wine was as refreshing as a yellow Gatorade after a mile run on a summer Virginia day.  That's it.  That's all the wine was designed to, and so it did.    

Drink whatever the hell you like when ever you like.  If for some crazy reason you don't finish it, use a fun bottle stopper and put the wine in the fridge (Yes red wines as well.  The fridge works its preserving magic on red wine just as it does red meat.) until tomorrow.
