Le Concours du Cheap Wine

I love throwing parties. But I have to say that I am not especially good on having clever themes. Generally ours are cocktails, lots of them. But our friends Katie and Rob always have fun ideas which are not just themes that involve a certain type of dress or drink but an activity as well.

Last night was Le Concours du Cheap Wine where each couple brought a $10 (or less) bottle of wine. They were tasted blind with awards for best and worst in show. We even had an injury.

Kidding - but we did get to discuss at length her bobsled finish line wipeout.

Our wine was neither best nor worst, falling directly in the middle of the pack in spite of the high rating I gave it.

And despite the high probability of "Cabernet flu" the following day, small tastings and liberal doses of water equalled a happy Sunday morning.

Not *bobsled*, Katie - LUGE. Oh, wait, no, it was the Nordic Combined. That's it. Definitely something involving artillery. Or ski jumping. :) Thanks for the pic, which I am going to steal for my own devices...
