How did you develop your excellent taste in red wine? Do you have any advice in selecting a bottle? -- Carol


Hemingway called wine the most civilized thing in the world. I agree, and an appreciation for good wine is also highly civilized. I usually approach a low-placed and unwatched wine glass slowly, sniff carefully, then gently nudge the it so that it falls over. Then I lap it right up off the floor or table before anyone has a chance to wipe it up. If a glass is filled full enough, I can often get a few licks right out of the glass.

As dogs are not allowed in grocery stores, I prefer to get my wine at Richmond Beverage, where they keep dog cookies behind the counter.
