On December 7, 2007 my father passed away.\u00a0 I lived with him, I found him dead on his bed, and\u00a0 so this was a really stressful time for me.<\/p>\n
The first night (the night he died) I spent with friends.\u00a0 I didn’t sleep a wink BUT it was still better than being home ALONE.<\/p>\n
I came home the next day in the late afternoon. That night I could not sleep for love nor money.\u00a0 I tried reading a boring book …… I tried a warm bath ……..then I remembered there was some Reisling (white wine) in the refrigerator and I thought that might help.<\/p>\n
The first problem was I couldn’t get the bleeping cork out of the bleeping bottle.\u00a0 It literally shredded into big pieces and fell down the neck of the bottle into the wine.\u00a0 So I’m thinking I need to strain the wine.\u00a0 The only thing I have to strain it through is (white) coffee filters.<\/p>\n
So I get the coffee filters set up over a large glass.\u00a0 I start pouring the wine and I notice it’s the color of tea that has been steeped just a tad bit too long or maybe slightly watered down Coca-Cola. I didn’t think\u00a0 the cork was in there long enough to change the color ……….<\/p>\n
I’m thinking to myself, Reisling is\u00a0 supposed to be a WHITE wine isn’t it?<\/p>\n
Being that I’m not much of a wine drinker (actually not much of a drinker at all), I went in my bedroom where the computer was and asked my friend Liz in Australia the burning question: Isn’t Reisling a white wine?<\/p>\n
She of course tells me yes and asks me why I’m asking her.\u00a0 I say I just poured myself a glass of Reisling and its brown as brown can be.\u00a0 I swear I could almost hear her laughter clear from Australia.<\/p>\n
And after two glasses of BROWN Reisling…….I still couldn’t fall asleep.<\/p>\n
Do I think I will ever drink BROWN Reisling again?\u00a0 I DON’T THINK SO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
