The Recovery is Here

Yep. A bottle of red wine. Recovery Red - Wine For The Optimistic.

I found this in the kitchen at the day job. And it had been opened and partially consumed.

How an open bottle of red wine is to be found in a staid office environment first thing in the morning is beyond me. Maybe someone was working late the previous night and enjoyed a glass or two. Who knows.

Anyway, I uncorked the the half-full bottle and gave it a sniff.

Hmmm, acceptable nose. Wonder how it tastes?

I pour a cuppa joe and put the bottle back on the table.

The maker - Spann Vineyards - has this to say about it.

Has the economy got you down? Lift your spirits with Recovery Red.
After hearing President Obama's messages of hope for the impending recovery we decided to do what we could do to spur a more immediate recovery - as least as far as liquid assets are concerned. We're offering this $20.00 wine for a recessionary price of $15.00. Inspiration for wording on the back label came from various politicians and financial institutions:

Blend - We’ve included multiple grape varieties and economic regions to ensure a broad based recovery.

Taste - Rough at 7,500 points, more palatable at 9,000 and most enjoyable anytime over 10,000.

Food Pairings - Ideal with bull, makes bear more tolerable, highly recommended if eating crow.

Full Disclosure - 1) No federal bailout money was used to produce this wine. 2) None of our employees received bonuses in excess of $250,000.
