Tennessee Red Wine
The other day I had two days off in a dang row! Two days they call it a weekend in the old world. The world before the invisible second depression hit America. I will pay for it come next month with a couple of late bills and their convenient late fees. Fees are suppose to be my punishment but it does work to heap their bank account up in the same way red light cameras are making traffic better. Oh yea, I am buying it like the obedient sheeple that I am.
Anyway, the other day we were looking to do something fun without traveling too far...paying for expensive fuel...paying for heavy entrance fees...paying for culture...paying...paying...paying to have a little relief from work. We ended up thinking of a little winery in a neighboring county to the south west where they have a free tasting room. The Tennessee Valley Winery was a nifty outing where we sampled almost everything they brew even mead. We took home a bottle of Tennessee Red wine. It was delicious with our meal at a south Knox legendary Egyptian restaurant named "King Tut" where Moe the owner basically picks out what he thinks you will like and he is usually right. It was a good day to be alive.
I don't think it made matters worse to visit a local vineyard, at least this month.
