Drink to me only with thine eyes
And I will drink your wine.
Okay, okay, it isn’t as romantic as the original but it’s funny.
You don’t think it’s funny? Well, heck.
Our topic today is how to select a bottle of wine.
Having taught radar and computers in the USAF, and also having been a computer programmer, I feel well qualified to advise you on how to select a bottle of wine.
If that previous paragraph made any sense to you at all, stop reading and consult a psychiatrist immediately.
Anyway, given my superb qualifications, let us get down to this wine purchasing business.
Some people select a wine because of cost. There are two types in that category.
Type 1: If it cost two hundred bucks, it must be good. My advice: No! No! No!
Type 2: What can I get for five bucks? My advice: You are getting warm.
Now, being a wine connoisseur, I select a wine by packaging. Packaging is all important because it shows the care taken during production. In other words, if the company that produces the wine is so cheap that they use a lousy piece of cork instead of a good, solid metal cap, I refuse to buy it.
That was a real corker, wasn’t it?
