What Possessed Us To Open Wine?

It was Happy Hour at home. There was fried cheese and olive tapenade. There HAD to be wine.

What Possessed Us To Open THIS Wine:

Our friend, Kevin, is a pastor. The wine is 7 Deadly Zins. The back of the bottle actually sports a poem about the 7 deadly SINS. There is a sermon illustration here somewhere!

What’s So Great About It?

My initial reaction was that it was sweet. Melyssa said she likes her wine and her men a little fruity. David said it tasted “Cabby” by which he meant like Cabernet. Kevin thought it was simple. There was some taste at the back of my mouth afterwards that I really liked.

Fantasy This Wine Engendered:

I am a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad person. I have all the 7 deadly sins in abundance. I can drink this wine and be completely forgiven. I am forced to drink wine every time I sin!!

Conversation This Wine Engendered:

What are the 7 deadly sins? (Kevin is googling this on his iPhone, when it is right on the bottle.

We are finally forced to order a new oven. I might have to start cooking.

How dumb we were about these 7 sins in our 20s.

How dumb we are now about these 7 sins, just in a more refined way.
