Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for December 30, 2023

Wrong reason to buy it.

Try the port or whiskey instead.

Or a better wine.

Use it for brining turkey. I look on the bottom shelves and closeout grocery carts for a bottle with at least 4 discount or closeout tags.

Does he know from experience?

What have you got that makes you feel good after one glass?

I don’t buy wine unless it is on sale. Our local store frequently runs specials with 15% to 20% off if you buy 12 bottles at a time. That’s enough wine and time to last me to the next sale.

I am talking about my “swilling wine” that I buy at the warehouse-like store and I drink when I sit at my computer at night. I am more selective about my “chilling wine” that I drink with a meal or my wife and I drink while on vacation.

I buy my chilling wine from local vineyards while participating in tastings with friends. It’s not about the tastings or the wine, but all about spending time with friends.

Brother-in-law used wine for meals and occasions. After his recent heart valve replacement, he quit entirely. Being a stickler for research into whatever ails him, he studied the results. Later, when a friend offered him a glass he passed, then told him the different benefits of quitting the stuff. Friend followed his lead and found that 6 weeks later, his physical and medical profiles had improved significantly. Just an idea for the New Year.

3 to feel good, a couple more to lose that inhibition .. better buy two bottles so you won’t remember what you did and suffer embarrassment.

Let me give you a tip, see?

Now you can see why marijuana is becoming more popular.

I’ll take 3 bottles.

It’s unhealthy.

We might apply the same number to hours spent reading the Gospel of John or the Letter to the Romans in the New Testament and get a more lasting result.

3 glasses?!… better grab something stronger…

When we lived on Ft Irwin CA, a long time ago, we went into town to a discount store and found some really cheap wine on closeout. It was the only wine we ever poured out…

you can feel good about yourself a lot faster with 100-proof Bourbon.
