Do you remember exactly when you lost your…..

BOTTLE

While I’ve done all FOUR, the most recent was the last. Yes, I DO remember the EXACT time that I LOST THE BOTTLE.  It was barely the 4th of July, up until that point I had always thought that the bottle and ONLY the bottle was my best friend, but just four days before the day of America’s Independance, something INSANE happened, I put down the bottle and did it…

I placed the big Black Box on my kitchen counter, grabbed a glass in my left hand and PUSHED THE BUTTON that was to change life as I knew it. It came pouring out in all of it’s deep maroon elegance. I raised the crystal glass to my lips and sipped.  Oh, the things that poured through my head.

• Where have you been all my life?
• How do I hide the box?
• Damn, where’s that bottle I finished yesterday….and can I find the old cork?
• I hope no one comes over and sees a box of wine on my counter.
• Where have you been all my life?
• Do you think my social standing will be hurt by this?
• I might have found my favorite wine.
• Shoot, how do I explain this to my readers on Champagne Living?
• Maybe I can stick the box into a beautiful decanter? Why don’t they make square decanters?
• Is my neighbor looking in my window AGAIN? I’m gonna call the cops.
• Did Mr. S just ask me to clip the dog’s toenails?
• Where have you been all my life? (I hate it when thoughts keep repeating themselves)
• Damn, this is good wine.

So dear readers, the woman of the mansion, the writer of Champagne Living, ME – Zippy Sandler LOVES Black Box Wine, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
