Mad Housewife Chardonnay

January 28, 2012 3:13 am


Kathryn isn’t exactly a haus frau, not with all the lawyers she must deal with daily.

Probably more of a comment on her husband.  A good friend offered this gift a while back:

We laughed.  Then we found, in the box, an accompanying chardonnay glass:

“Hot with complex characteristics.”  Still hot after all these years (that many? really?).

Drinking it poses a conundrum:  A Trophy Wife ™ really should be taken out on an occasion to drink a wine with a name like that, right?  But I’m stingy enough not to want to pay the corkage on a bottle brought in.  In no case should this one be drunk with a dinner she’s slaved over for hours.

Maybe it’s time I hit the kitchen.  Old Bay crab cakes, maybe?  It’s a great wine.

  1. Here’s the polite description of Arrogant Bastard Ale:

    From the Stone Brewing Co. in Escondido, California.

    From there you may click to the impolite description.

  2. Ed,

    I have been told there is a brand of beer called “Arrogant Bastard”. I’ve not seen it on the shelves of my liquor store, but I’m not much for hops and barley.

    At any rate, I’d love it if they had gift baskets. (No, you would NOT receive that particular brand name from me!)
