Wines come in a variety of flavors, bottle sizes and price. A recent wine I discovered costs $23,000 US dollars for 1.5L. Could you imagine drinking away that much money in one night? Supposedly the 1945 vintage Mouton Rothschild Pauillac has an exotic, ripe, fruity body with mocha, coffee and tobacco overtones. It finishes with Asian spice flavors. It is a thick and creamy wine, but I’m still not sure it would be worth $23,000 dollars. If for some reason I did become the owner of an opened bottle of this wine, you can bet your booty that no one is getting so much as a sniff of it besides me. I would be the epitome of selfish for one night and enjoy the most expensive buzz of my life. Hope it’s worth it.

One Expensive Drunk

Have a Heart!
The past ten years have brought about many studies that have hinted at the heart healthy properties of red wine. Supposedly, the antioxidants in red wine can help lower bad cholesterol, increase good cholesterol, and has can prevent blood from clotting. This doesn’t give us free reign to go out and start drinking a bottle of red a day. The studies suggest only a drink per woman per day and 2 drinks per man per day are needed and any more than that is actually more harmful than beneficial. Choose yor galls wisely each night and sip knowing you are helping your heart.
