Mellow-sipping Friday Random Ten

Tonight with dinner I had a glass - not a full glass - of this chocolate wine I had on hand.  A friend and his wife gave it to me for Christmas, which gives you an idea of how long it was hanging around.  I was planning to polish it off as part of a special occasion, probably not by myself.  But, I finally figured I'd clear out some space.  Now watch "clear out some space" become a euphemism.  Anyway, it's called "Desiree", and it's good stuff.  Kind of like sherry but it goes down smoother.

I'd never heard of it before but you do made Desiree sound delicious. Never has clearing space sounded so pleasant.

Cool FR10. It's been a long time since Brian Eno and David Byrne collaborated.

It was delicious. I went through it in just a few days. Well, it was a skinny bottle.

Very good stuff, and very different from their My Life in the Bush of Ghosts material.
