Bacchus favors us

As an offer on the new oven we bought, we got a year's supply of wine. That's 52 bottles, in case you were wondering.

The 52 bottles arrived on Friday. Twenty-six white and twenty-six red. They seem reasonable quality, but I'm no connosieur. The first two bottles went down easy enough, though.

Not being big wine drinkers, we don't have a cellar, or even a wine rack. We just had four cardboard boxes of wine sitting in our dining room. Class.

But Bacchus truly favors us. He saw our need and he provided. We went to the dump yesterday and just as we finished and were about to leave (sadly empty-handed) when the guy pulling into the bay next to ours seemed to have a wine rack in the front seat of his car. I pointed it out to the Vol-in-Law and suggested that he retrieve said wine-rack. He hopped out of the car and managed to get the wine rack from the guy before it even hit the dumpster. We now have rack space forty-some bottles.

That's still classier than the two boxes of wine in our fridge...
