I prefer Reds, especially a Pinot... and the THC tincture just cannot hurt!

Pinots are great. I'm ranging over a whole host of Argentine and Chilean Malbecs. I'd commit bloody murder in broad daylight for a good Shiraz. And I've never met a bad Chianti.

Lambrusco is like the Kool-Aid of wines. But some of the best sex I ever had was after two bottles of the stuff. Life is good most of the time...

...that bad boy is just waiting for the prime opportunity... perhaps a nice grass-fed fillet with sauted 'shrooms and a tad of demi glace... and of course, a few puffies to get the vibe going!

Yeah. It's still around. I had a bottle or two about a year ago, just for old time's sake. It's one of the rare sparkling red wines. One of the objections wine critics offer is that it doesn't have enough zip to go with its sparkle.

My blood glucose is 81 and my current weight is about 185 pounds, but I'm about to start my round of DU posts and taking shots of 0.5 oz. grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz. Skyy vodka and 0.5 oz. ice on about 20 minute intervals over the next few hours. How many units of Novolog should I give myself and when as I try to keep DU informed of what is occurring in the Plains states?

There is not enough wine in the state of NC to help.
The march in Raleigh was great!
I am surprised that the situation is worse than I ever imagined
