I just got back from the Corkscrew, the liquor store on S. Front next to the Blue Monkey.\u00a0 I told the guy working there that I was looking for some “nice white wines to drink on my building’s rooftop.\u00a0 They’ll probably be consumed along with other alcohol, so I’m not looking for pricey wines.”\u00a0 With assistance, I ended up with four bottles – a pinot grigio, a sauvignon blanc, and two chardonnays – for $23.\u00a0 Not bad at all.\u00a0 I especially appreciated that he told me that he’d had both the $3.99 wine and the $11.99 wine I was considering, and he liked the cheaper one better.<\/p>\n
They had a good selection of beers above 6% alcohol too.\u00a0 Looking at the prices makes me realize how much the Saucer marks beer up.\u00a0 Speaking of which, I’ve got a post coming later today about a new beer at the Saucer, and the Corkscrew carries it if you want to try it.<\/p>\n
Before going to the ‘screw, I voted – my polling place moved to a new location, but other than that, no problems, in and out in 5 minutes.\u00a0 I also stopped by the MIFA Store, and will do a separate post about it later.<\/p>\n
If you’re not sure where to vote today, this site will tell you.<\/a><\/p>\n Steve Cohen is having a free election celebration at Minglewood Hall tonight at 7:30.<\/p>\n If I were a little more sure Cohen had this election sewn up, I would have crossed over and voted Haslam for governor, because the other two Republican candidates are just complete nutbags.\u00a0 With all the news about polling irregularities, though, I decided Steve needed my vote.<\/p>\n Not even 1 PM on my vacation day and I’m probably about to head to the bar… I don’t really want to start drinking this early in the day, but one of my buddies is hoping I’ll be his excuse to start drinking early.\u00a0 You can’t let a friend down, I suppose.<\/p>\n I have posts in Drafts, so I’ll probably log in through my iPhone and post more later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just got back from the Corkscrew, the liquor store on S.
