Guilty Booze Pleasures?
Everyone has that thing they like which would embarrass the hell out of them were anyone to know they actually enjoyed it. I'm going to put myself out there right now and say, yes, I have a secret Gilmore Girls affinity. I can't help it - it's so cleverly wholesome and comforting. Watching it is like living in a world where all of my innermost worries and anxieties don't exist, but rather melt away as I dream of New England and the pleasures of small-town suburbia. Laugh all you want, I will still watch it because it makes me happy. At K&L, there are definitely guilty pleasures related to booze - those products we enjoy that would cause our co-workers to shake their heads in disbelief because a wine professional should not succumb to such infantile desires. Is it the pineapple and butter-infused Rombauer Chardonnay? Perhaps a six pack of Bud Light? Or maybe a vodka-cranberry after work? I've been thinking about what my alcoholic GP would be and if I had to choose now it would be the Godiva Chocolate-Infused Vodka which we don't have yet, but will shortly. I can't help it, it's good! What do you want me to do, not buy it even though it's delicious? Do you have a guilty booze pleasure? What is it? Comment, please.
