I need to plan my night. Anyone care to assist?
Left to Right:
Jameson — Republicans win all key races and keep everything they now control (confession–I admit to kinda’ loving Jameson….this is the last thing I want to look at tonight, let alone touch). *see footnote below
Mouton Cadet by Baron Philippe de Rothschild: Sounds good on the surface, but very average. Democrats win House by small margin. Republicans maintain control of Senate. Like a ball game I bet on ending in a tie, and I get a push.
2007 Chateauneuf-Du-Pape — Good night, but not what it could have been for Democrats. Solid wine, but there’s better for the money.
1999 Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere — Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. Enough said. Democrats win both the House and Senate, and win a majority of Governor’s races. *I wanted to show the Gevrey-Chambertin (thanks Taki) but I drank his bottles years ago!
1987 Havana Club (the real thing) / 2017 Havana Club (knock off, but still good) — I only open this bottle I brought back from Ceausescu’s Romania on very special occasions. Chad H. gifted me the newer bottle, and I am waiting for an occasion to celebrate. This happens if Dems sweep, and also pick up SOUTH CAROLINA. Is South Carolina the new Georgia? I hope so. Toss in a bottle of Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut if somehow Democrats win MISSISSIPPI.
Macallan 12 — I can’t afford the Macallan 18, but I wouldn’t know the difference anyway. I need a reason to open this. Any reason. How about I just open it for the hell-uv-it? Any objections?
Here’s my HOLY GRAIL of wines — a 1961 OTTONEL (Romania) — Bought this in 1990 in Bucharest. Made during the Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej regime. It’s Marieta’s birth year, 1961. Paid decent money then, and now it’s priceless. We agree to open this up on out 50th anniversary. So, what would cause us to open this tonight?
Answer:
1. Democrats win House and Senate, will super majority.
2. Democrats win vast majority of state races — landslide!
3. Trump resigns in disgrace.
Who wants to come over and join me? I’m sticking that 1961 Ottonel on ice!
*If something worse happens, I’m going to the 7-11 to buy a bottle of Yellow Tail.
