Seeking Revenge

I don't spend my days hanging out in liquor stores.

Even though this now marks my second blog posting in one month's time about a funny find in a liquor store, I really don't spend a lot of time frequenting these fine establishments. Really. I don't.

Anyway...here goes.

While in San Diego for a wedding, I ended up in a liquor store. I was there with some others. Our mission was to pick up some bottles of wine for a family gathering. We were instructed to purchase red wine, preferably Merlot and definitely not Shiraz.

But I tend to stray from the rules. Once the Merlot was in hand, I began perusing the other bottles.

That's when I came across an Australian wine called "Kelly's Revenge." I had to have it!

Plus, it was a forbidden Shiraz, which meant I double had to have it!

Kelly's Revenge was purchased and taken to the family get-together. However, it quickly got pushed aside and pushed to the back in lieu of the favored and requested Merlot and somehow the evening passed and I never got to have my revenge.

And now I'm back home in Minnesota wondering what will become of that bottle. It will sit, no doubt, in the host's cabinet, as nobody in that home had wanted a Shiraz.

Maybe it will wait for me until my return trip to San Diego; although I don't know when that will be.

And so today, while running errands, I decided to pop into an area liquor store known for it's vast and global selection. Alas, they carry no Kelly's Revenge.

Never even heard of it, the clerk said.

I guess this means I'm still seeking revenge.
