Remember Monopoly? … same concept, except with wine properties. Blee got us this game back at Christmas and we finally got down to playing it Saturday night with her. I learned several things playing this game; namely:
- consuming wine, and good wine at that, while playing does not increase your chance of winning, though – granted – it does make playing more fun;
- consuming copious amounts of good red wine turns your teeth violet and your tongue magenta (which, because you’ve been consuming wine and are feeling silly, makes you want to stick your tongue out to show people);
- I am a property-rich; cash-poor kind of guy while G had very few properties and lots of cash;
- G whines while playing until he starts winning then he gets giddy;
- Blee was wrong, wrong, wrong, not to take my offer of trading three wine properties for her one bloody Cabernet Sauvignon property; and, finally,
- drinking while playing Wine-opoly is good as it makes losing easier.
Wine-opoly … G won!
Saturday’s food: Korean Grill House
We’ve been saying for eons we’re going to try Korean barbeque … Saturday afternoon we finally did at the this establishment on Queen West just near CityTV. It was fun and yummy though you do leave all stinky.
Saturday’s movie: V for Vendetta
OMG! Loved it! This movie was visual, viscously visceral, violent, verbose and very Vabulous! It is based on the ‘graphic novel’ by Allan Moore and David Lloyd. It should be very interesting to see how this movie plays in the USA as it quite blatantly bashes the States and has a ‘terrorist’ in the lead. Natalie’s noggin is pretty and perfect in this movie. It’s hard to look hot with a head with no hair!
Saturday’s wine: Zenato Ripassa 2003
Folks who have been reading here a bit will remember this find we tasted at a lovely authentic Italian restaurant during our adventure in Ottawa in February. Well, aren’t we wandering through Summerhill LCBO yesterday afternoon and just about to leave when – yikes! – here’s the blessed nectar now available here! Hooray! Try it! … $23.95 in Vintages.
Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sunday’s TV: March Madness … continues!
It’s been tv-mania for me … lots of great basketball games so far and more to come. You can get the last brackets of who’s advancing to the Sweet Sixteen here.

Our food gets a-frying at Korean Grill House … the calamari was very good!
