Idle hands are the Devil's workshop.
I am thinking of getting one of these Wine record books where you can paste the labels off the bottles you have finished and write some details about the
vino that has already been processed and excreted.
Quite cool I suppose to flip the scrapbook 5 years down the road and remember you had that fantastic Bordeaux at
Les Amis on your Anniversary or a fruity Reisling in office to celebrate the demise of that mean boss. Some of the artwork on these labels are actually quite interesting and exquisite too. Perhaps when I have collected enough, I can do a Wine Label Mosaic and have it framed up and displayed.
A couple of niggly things though.
1. Is it a little nerdy to be doing something like this? Hell we used to laugh at Stamp Collectors.
2. I'm pretty sure I'll make a mess out of peeling the damn labels off the bottles. Don't want to be doing a jigsaw do we?
3. How do you get the wine cafe to actually pass you the label of a bottle of which you had only ordered one glass? You know a great tasting House Pour for example and when you don't want to drink too much before driving.
Hmmmm...
