Hello All,
Just coming off of a fun and fabulous weekend with RWM, a dear friend from Seattle, who was passing through on his travels across the country selling the phenomenol rain wedge for golfers. For more information about the product, check out the website at http://www.rainwedge.com/.
The photo gallery includes shots of my new winebrat friends and my visitor at various hotspots around town, including my dining room where we landed for the night to taste some Long Island wines that RWM bought from various tasting rooms in NY. He was pleasantly surprised at how good some of those wines were, having never seen any wines produced from the region before now. I also shared a new favorite from Vino 100, a Barossa Valley, Australia label called Fetish. It's one of the best values I've had the pleasure to enjoy. It's distinctive label sports a very sexy silhouette of a woman, styled like the ones you see on semi trucks, only she's still standing. It's an extremely lucious and bold red shiraz.
A memorable hilarious moment was when four of us inadvertently started shuffling three of our glasses of wine and couldn't figure out which was whose, with only one of us having a sharp enough olfactory to finally distinguish the one Lyeth Merlot from the two Alexander Valley Cabs, a sobering moment for the other 3 of us who have vowed to practice more sniffing and sipping to help build these important skills!
On Sunday, we hit the road with our bikes and headed toward the baseball stadium to watch my team lose by one point in the 10th innning. But in stark contrast to the stormy deluge on Friday night, it was sunny and dry, so we were still pretty happy in spite of the loss. Thanks again to RWM for putting my bike together and making it ride-worthy.
I hope this was easier to read--one of my friends asked me to please start using paragraphs...

so that's what I look like when I've had 2 or 3 glasses of wine more than I've should've. Joan, thanks for a great night and thanks to RMW for the generous gift he gave me.

Don't forget how we tried to distinguish whose glass was whose by the shade of lipstick on it only to discover that there were several shades on each glass! BAHAHAH!!! TOO funny! It was a great night and nice to meet RMW!

RWM had an excellent time! Can't believe I grew up in Chicago and that was my first time in Milwaukee. It was nice to meet some of your new friends, they were a great group and it was fun hanging out with them on Friday and Sat (Plus, it was nice to finally meet your other brother) On a side note, the Rain Man record still stands...as I got close to my folks house in Chicago, it started to rain!!
