Stress Test
May 10^th, 2009 at 10:59pm

Guess I figure if they can stress test a bank, I can do it to myself.

I should explain that I've entered into my CH "window". Although I haven't been hit yet, I can feel the thing circling in the darkness just outside the firelight, so to speak.

Anyway...don't know if any of you are interested in wine, but I scored a half-dozen bottles of 2003 Bordeaux--a Margaux, no less--for a stupid-cheap price. Long story. Think Two-Buck Chuck, and you'll have some idea what I paid for it. Weird.

Of course, a person has to try the stuff. I opened a bottle last night, and EJ and I shared it. It was wound pretty tight until it got some air, but after an hour, it was beautiful--with a bouquet that filled the room. Wonderful stuff.

Went to bed, loaded with red-wine histamines, fully expecting to get nailed. Got lucky. It didn't happen.

I think it's best that I simply admire the other five bottles for the next eight weeks, however. Tongue

No sense antagonizing the thing.

Best,

George

I'm an absolute mister Ignoramus about wine, George, but I do enjoy the vast majority of Dutch and (especially) the Belgian beers.
However, once I'm in cycle I stay away from the stuff, would rather gnaw off my hand and feed it to my pets.

As I believe it is for many others here, alcohol is a major agitator of the swine. It is just not worth it.

I hope this coming cycle will prove to be a rather mild one, but if not, kick the Beast for me and all other will you?

You're in my thoughts. Pascal.

No sense antagonizing the thing. Yeah...probably a good call. While I no longer live in fear of the beast.....neither do I risk "flipping him off!" Maybe he'll be gracious and just skip a cycle! Joe

That explains me getting hit last night after a month without even a twinge. DUH!!

Went to a very nice restaurant last night and, of course, I had to try all the wines the Sommelier had to sample.

I said the hell with the beast and went ahead with a big glass of the red. It was sooo good!

I didn't get hit until 4 hours later and never thought about the wine until I read this post. I really miss red wine. Sad

Enjoy it while you can George. I'm jealous. Wink

Beth....what the hell was I thinking???

I love my wine, and love to go out and have a drink with my partner from time to time......I had a drink a month and a half ago and got hit (before I knew it was bad for the head and beast) and I haven't tried it since....my partner can't understand why I have told her repeatedly NO, NO, NO.....but after my one experience and after reading all of your tales about it.........I'm staying far, far away.
