Andy Rooney on women over 40.

In  case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40…As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it’s usually more interesting.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. 
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off that you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.  For all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”, here’s an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig
just to get a little sausage!

Andy Rooney is a really smart guy.

Friday, Oct.5 Wine Tasting

FREE WINE TASTING AT O’DARBY’S

We will be tasting six (6) different wines at O’Darby’s on Friday. This will be a predominately Riesling wine tasting day as we have not tasted many Rieslings in the past. The official count is six wines – we will probably do a couple of surprise wines. See You Friday!  Click Here for a map to locate O’Darby’s

Chateau Ste Michelle 2006 Columbia Valley Dry Riesling     Wine Makers Notes:
“For 15 years we made a special dry Riesling just for the Northwest. The wine developed a loyal following and sold out quickly every year. Slowly we started hearing from customers in other parts of the country who wanted this dryer style Riesling. Starting with this 2006 vintage, we are happy to offer our Dry Riesling nationwide. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling is a dry, crisp, refreshing style of Riesling with beautiful forward fruit flavors, crisp acidity and an elegant finish. It offers brisk, cooler climate Riesling character of white peach and mandarin oranges with a clean finish. We followed the German model for classifying this as a dry Riesling and made it in the “Troken” style. Our Dry Riesling is very versatile with food. Try it with Asian dishes or shrimp.” 
Our Price: $9.99

 Chateau Ste Michelle 2006 Columbia Valley Riesling     Wine Makers Notes:
“We craft our Columbia Valley Riesling to be an inviting, refreshing, off-dry Riesling vintage after vintage. This Riesling consistently delivers classic Washington state Riesling character of juicy peach, apricot, ripe pear, melon, with subtle mineral notes. This is our”every day Riesling” that is a pleasure to drink and easy to match with a variety of foods.”

Our Price: $9.99

·  Foris 2005 Gewurztraminer    Winemaker’s notes: Clearly Gewurztraminer on the nose – Bees wax, lemon peel and lychee nuts. Mid- weight, bright and clearly focused. Very spicy in the Gewurzy sense. Does not show any obvious sweetness, just well ripened fruit. Complex, though not subtle. Plenty of acid, but still mouthfilling and complete. Long finish crying out for spicy food.  Our Price: $12.99

Waterbrook 2006 Riesling   Wine Makers Notes: Jasmine and marigold floral notes and hints of clementine aromas greet you. Juicy nectarines and honeysuckle lead to a clean finish with balanced fruit flavors and acidity. Our Price: $12.99

Falcon Hill 2005 Riesling    Wine Makers Notes: Crisp and Dry with delicate apple and grapefruit notes, Falcon Hill Dry Riesling gives you another option from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. An excellent match with seafood, shellfish, poultry and of course, just for sipping!  Our Price: $10.99

Black Chook Shiraz Sparkling  This non vintage wine sparkles to the tune of a well balanced blend. Predominantly 3 year old shiraz, aged in old French oak barrels, shows wonderful smooth integrated fruit and a rich weighty texture across the palate. This is blended with a touch of younger vintage shiraz that brings ripe, juicy, fruit character to the finished product.  Our Price: $14.99

HEAD BALL COACH CHARDONNAY    SORRY CAROLINA FANS – WE ARE NOT TASTING THIS WINE. Just wanted to remind each of you Carolina Fans that we have this wine in stock as it is selling fast. Our Price: $13.99

See you Friday! Doug
