My suggestion would be to grab an interesting case of microbrew, drink 3 and give the birthday friend the rest along with the giant Corona and have a party.Wineskillguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07538634138169961720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-13692974173112420382013-09-24T18:25:05.531-07:002013-09-24T18:25:05.531-07:00Robert: If that line doesn't work for you, try...Robert: If that line doesn't work for you, try this one:<br /><br />"It's not the meat, it's the pairing."W.
