The wine made it back to Boston

So, for those of you that take for granted the ease at which you can ship wine to and from your home state. Please be advised this post will open your eyes to a world/state in which it is not possible to ship wine whenever/wherever you want. On Tuesday after the show was over I met Kendra and then headed to Office Depot where I bought $30 worth of bubble wrap in order to attempt to get these 10 bottles of wine home... Knowing full well that these bottles were not going to fit in my suitcase with all of my clothes, I was also forced (completely self inflicted)to purchase another suitcase ($35)... After 60 minutes of wrapping up bottles of wine, in a ridiculous amount of bubble wrap, forcing those bottles into a suit case and then trying to maneuver my way out the door of my hotel room with two suit cases and a laptop bag, you can imagine the site. Never mind the leftover roll of bubble wrap and tape that were left on the floor. Goodness knows what the maids thought... 10 bottles of wine.................$110- thanks to the lovely industry discounts from Liz Bubble Wrap........................ $30 Extra bright red suitcase... $35 Enjoying a bottle of Bouchaine Pinot on my deck in Boston... priceless For all the folks that love to go to Napa and buy their wine and just have it shipped home, I do hope you enjoy that because for the rest of us are paying the price for your ease and comfort!
