I have a nice bottle of wine I've been sitting on...

not a great bottle, but a very nice one. (at least by my admittedly average standards)

Been waiting for the right time to open it. I think the evening of 11/6 would be a fine time to crack it...

It's a Capture Cabernet Sauvginon Revelation from 2009. An old roommate of mine from college bought it for me. It's being stored for me at a buddy's liquor store - he's got a nice portable cellar.

Obama, you better win this thing, every time I think about that bottle my mouth gets wet.

I won't drink it this fast but I will definitely enjoy it if the night goes the way I think it will.

Anyone else got a nice libation they're saving for the event?

I never got around to getting the glasses and the warmer it merits.

Guess I gotta pick up a pair of snifters and a candle.

I have no doubt that sane minds will prevail on 11/06, so get ready to enjoy your bottle of vino.

We now should be more concerned about the Koch brothers stealing it than Obama losing it.
