Million dollar ideas

Tonight's selection:
Wine: 
Caliterra Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva, 2011
Origin:  Colchagua Valley, Chile
Price:  $9.95
CC score:  4 of 5 = PFG
Jack's score:  4 of 5 = PFG
 
Before we even opened this lovely bottle of wine, Jess (now known as Jack) and I had consumed the following:  pint of beer each (I, a German blonde; she, Keith's) with a Glenfiddich side, neat; Hendrick's gin-n-tonics; vodka tonics; and cognacs...  Apparently we morphed into affluent European gadabouts who got funnier and more intelligent as the night went on.  We finished the evening with this lovely Cab for a night-cap (or coffin-nail) as we discussed rape..  and ukeleles. 

I wish I could opine about the body and complexity of this red.  I wish I could describe the prominent flavours and obvious notes on the nose.  I wish I could tell you I remember specifics about experiencing this wine other than "This is really fucking nice."  "Yeah, it is."
But I can at least share the one thing that made us laugh the most by the time the wine was opened:

Smudge the Judge
