De-Listed

There is always a mass of memes/lists/questions floating about the Internets.  Having been tagged for one by granny wielding a poultry-laden cart, I felt it was time to download & de-list the meme-of-the-moment, which is currently squatting on neuro-real estate in my cranium.  Think of this as kind of a frontal lobe colonic.

5 Things to Eat Before You Die
Nothing like talk of death to get one pondering the joys of gastronomy.  Hmm, how about, "5 Bottles of Wine to Drink with Famous Folk Before Someone (other than myself) Dies"

5. Share a Bottle of Gran Reserva Rioja with Mr. E. Vedder on the Pacific coast
4. Slowly savor 100-year old Madeira with Chuck Darwin while observing boobies, tortoises and finches on the Galapagos
3. Sip an ancient Vouvray with T.R. and F.D.R. on the porch of a cabin in Yellowstone
2. Slurp a Methuselah of Champagne with father Dom and The Widow in a Paris Bistro
1. Sidle up to a decades' old Barolo with Leo d. V. in a Florence piazza.

Is there a bottle you'd like to share with any famous folk?

I'm so disappointed no one has wished for a few boxes of 'emerald riesling' or 'mountain burgundy' with Fred Franzia or his Uncle Gallo.

Are ya'll wine lovers or not!?
