I'll Drink To That

"If there's something you want to do, or someone you really want to be, then the only one standing in your way... is you."
Artie - Shrek the Third


I think I have talked about all the basics enough. Ya know the stuff that deals with people getting their minds right. So I'm moving on from that discussion and into more of the personal world.

I've told this story to a few folks that I know already, but I will share it with the world now. I went to Paris back in July 2000 for 3 days. Great trip! One that I'll never forget. The food wasn't all that but the sights and the history there is one of the best. I took a tour there, and part of the tour was this All-You-Can-Drink-Wine restaurant. I mean they kept 3 glasses in front of us full at all times. So you know in about an hour, everybody in the restaurant was feeling good, lol. And as a to-go gift, the restaurant gave everybody their own 40oz!! So we were all on the tour bus dranking 40's right out the bottle. LOL! That was classic.

But there was this one red wine that I loved! So the next day, the tour bus took us to this wine gallery, and I found the exact bottle of french wine from the restaurant (I think), and i bought it. Here is 7yrs later, and I still have that bottle of wine unopened and still looking fresh. A while ago I decided that I would not drink that bottle of wine and to save it for some life moment. So I picked my honeymoon. That's the weird thing, I have no idea when I will be married, heck engaged....shoot I'm single! So there is no telling when I will crack open that bottle of wine and drink it. I even did an Internet search for it a while ago, and I can't find it anywhere!

So bottle of wine....Baron d'Arignac - vin de pays d'oc (1999) France, this blog is dedicated to you and the unknown date I will drink it.
