Crazy thing called love by Michael Buble (originally by Queen)

Wine. This is something that I wish I knew more about. I think that wine is so peaceful. It always reminds me of calm nights and good conversation. One of my favorite things to do is sit on our porch when it’s raining really heavy with a glass of wine. Amy and I sit there and talk for hours and it is absolutely perfect. There are no funnels, no drinking games, just a gentle sip every now and then. Another thing that I have recently started to enjoy is having a glass at night, not that I need any help getting to sleep, but I just find it calming. When I go out to dinner, it is the perfect addition to any meal, other than Mexican where of course you have to get a margarita. Sadly, I enjoy any cheap white wine and definitely would not know the difference between a $2.00 bottle and a $200 bottle. Which, I guess if I think about it is an excellent quality to posses, considering my college budget. I choose my wine based on the label. Therefore, it’s good for marketing majors to know, it really does pay off. I find myself going down the aisle at the grocery store searching for the bottle that will look the best above my cabinet. Not the one that is the most expensive or that might taste the best, but the one that is the most aesthetically pleasing. However, I always seem to enjoy it, so my rationale of choosing a great wine has never been wrong. The good thing about wine is that you can enjoy it at home, on your back porch, on a date, or even when you want a crazy night out with your friends. Wine is so easy going and versatile. If wine was a person, it would be the most relaxed, carefree person ever. Another great thing about wine is that it is a great gift to give. If you are ever searching for a present for a girl, wine is always an option. There is no girl I know that doesn’t enjoy a bottle of wine. Therefore, 2 buck chuck for girls and a case of natty for the guys. Funny combination. I love seeing a case of beer next to a bottle of wine. It’s like saying, “we keep it classy when we party.” That’s a great thing about college. If you open a fridge after a night out you can find a variety of things. A few keystones left over, a bottle of wine, a mysterious brown liquid sitting in a Kroger water bottle, and the one random pbr. One thing that I want to purchase for my apartment next year is a wine rack. It will probably only have one bottle in it, but I I think they are so great. They are definitely a space saver and you don’t have to go digging through the fridge to find the exact one you want. It’s like a bookshelf for wine. I wish that I could have a library of wine; with lots of different aesthetically pleasing bottles of wine. It could have a slide ladder too, because those are needed in every library. Another great thing about wine is that they usually have corks. Those are fun because you can use them for lots of different crafts. We have a wine cork board in our kitchen and I absolutely love it. Therefore, wine is a wonderful addition to life. Props to the person who created it, I will think of you next time I unscrew a cork. Have a beautiful day.
