Eva's Wine Cellar

Jacques brought me the Chateau Lafitte!

Oh how nice, a wine bar - just what I need now.
I have the house full of wanna be teenagers putting on
a style show with little CJane's clothes, and her
entire closet looks like a bomb went in.

I need something soothing, comforting and numbing quick<sigh>

Could I try a heavy Bordeaux that knocks
my socks off?

Hey, Calamity, over here. You're welcome to come and sit with us.

I guess I had to help myself to the wine cellar

Oh, now I see you. Hi Montana!
I'll be right there.....

Jacques might not have seen you come in because he was busy polishing the bottles, so maybe we should put just a little bell at the door, so Jacques will know when someone comes in.

Indeed that would be a good idea Montana.

Oh Charle...aehm Jacques,
could I have a refill please.

All the girls are shouting now in my daughters room,
since the music is around 90 decible.

My nerves!! Jacques, maybe you'll leave the bottle here....

What a lovely place, with people who are warm and welcoming. Eva, you do know how to make the ambience restful yet interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a wine cellar this large--actually, I've never seen a wine cellar!

Francis, we are so looking forward to meeting you in London. Do me a favor when we meet for dinner--choose the wine. I love fairly light wines, red or white, but I have no sophistication when it comes to labels or types of wine.

Montana, sweet Montana, I have heard a little about your day and thoroughly sympathize and agree with you!! Here's a toast to Montana-- a woman of character and quality.

Clamity Jane, your post had me laughing at the thought of all those teenage girls. Is it possible to be heard above all that noise? I had two sons, but I've been to female houses and they are rowdy and raucous. I think they are actually louder than boys. I'll order another bottle from Jacques. What is your favorite?

Diane, at this point I drink anything.
Actually the girls are only 9 years old but going on 16 <sigh>
Luckily, the last pre-teen has left just 15 minutes ago
and my own rascal is in the bathtub, so I just enjoy the utter quietness right now.

Let's have a good californian Merlot Diane. Have you ever
tried Francis Coppola's wines? He's not only a good movie
director his wines are outstanding as well.

Oh, I like Coppola's reds...
and some of us had a bit of it when we went the the cafe in SF, didn't we, Diane..
but, I've never ever had a glass of Chateau Lafitte, '78 or any other year. And, as long as there is some left, I'd appreciate having it in a special glass. I'll have to go looking for the kind of glass I mean...

Yes, CJ, as in osso's reply. God I love to hear girls being all giggly and loud, but then I've never had to live with them! Relax and I'll find the nicest merlot I can find.

Osso, now that I'm old (but feeling younger than ever), I indulge in good drinks, whether it is Maker's Mark bourbon or good champagne (which I LOVE). Since I don't drink much, I figure the expense is very much worth it.

Beer steins are not allowed Osso

Oh Diane, you are so very precious. Thank you so very much for your kind words :-D Now come on over and sit next to me ;-)

What a lovely group we have in here :-D

Takes another sip of wine.

dys enters the grotto with a brown paper bag and sits between Diane and Montana. dys says to eva "I'd like to see, and the sooner the better, a clean whisky glass"

Montana scoots over to give Dyslexia a little more space, but not too much space, as I don't want to interfere with that coziness :-D

Montana, sweet girl that she is, doesn't mention the odor emanating from Dys. She compliments him on his boots, wishing he would go wash them, or something, and he says, always the gentleman, "Why thank you maam, they are Tony Lamas and very comfortable. Why, I always wear them when riding my favorite mule, Old Jumpy." Here, would you like to see the special stitching?" Montana, gasping, askes Jacques for a stiff drink of anything!

Why, dys! Of course you can BYOB here anytime! I believe I have just the "shot glass" for you...



Jacques, perhaps we should think about stocking some single malt whiskeys. What do you think of that? Oh, please don't frown like that, Jacques. I know your expertise is in vintage wines. I wouldn't ask you to serve just anything. I'll find you an assistant to help out. There now, stop pouting! I promise...an assistant...yes, first thing tomorrow.

<thinking, thinking...I should find a pretty girl for this...Jacques likes blondes, I believe...>

Montana belts down her stiff one and turns to Dys saying "well, now I'm ready for anything, so show me your stuff"!

Eva
Well, hell!!! I ain't no blond, so we gotta find us a blond.

Hmmm, wasn't there a blonde girl named Bambi? Not too bright, but pretty and helpful.

Glasses like this makes me wish I liked martinis. I might buy a couple and drink vodka tonics or even orange juice out of them.

It will be my pleasure, choosing you the wine! I'll give advice depending on what we are going to eat.

Besides, I'll give you a bottle from my own cellar!
