Owe you all a huge catch up since I last posted. Unless you are one of the Denver locals who hung out with us over the weekend.
Stories forthcoming....no detail left unshared. Well, maybe one or two.
The only question I have right now is WHY does one glass of Chardonnay have the same effect as a whole night of Jager Bombing and Whiskey shots? Chardonnay is my Master and it is kicking my butt...and head...and neck...today. Just one glass...who knew?
More later!
Waiting for pics...

Chardonnays, especially from California, are growing more alcoholic...upwards of 12 to 14 percent (and even higher) German wines like riesling are much lower in alcohol, down to 8 percent but the trade off is they are sweeter...but then whiskey has a sweeter flavor too so that should be a problem. You could also have difficulty with the histamines found naturally in wine (that leads to the dreaded wine headache). the cure for that is an anti-histamine but I don't feel right recommending people mix wine and drugs unless it's absolutely whats needed (Champagne and Xanax make a nice duet on an airplane) and the drinking will be minimal -er.

Yeah, I especially want to hear about that game of yours!
I'm not so much a fan of chardonnnay...I mean, it's OK in a pinch if there's nothing else to drink (god, what a drunk!) but I prefer RED.

How about three glasses of riesling and three screwdrivers? Why does that get me drunk? Oh yeah...

Waiting...not so patiently LOL :)
Actually I can't wait to hear about it and on the wine thing, same thing here. Red wine kicks my hiney but I could do tequila shots all night long!!!
