wine me, dine me

Is that yet another bottle of Yellow Tail you're opening?

Stop, already!

Take the mystery out of wine shopping at the new Firefly Fine Wines and Ales where bottles are categorized from "aromatic" to "black teeth" rather than by varietal.

But the pièce de resistance is a stainless steel wine sampling machine like they have in France. Just place your glass under a bottle, press a button, and voila, a little tastelike the amazing Venturi Schulze Pinot Noir from Vancouver Island we sampled ($52.60).

Other sure winners are the "aromatic" Pepperwood Grove Viognier ($18) and the "crisp" Blasted Church Chardonnay ($21.70).

But there are limits to experimentation, too: we suggest you skip the wine flavoured coffee on offer near the check out.

Some habits are simply sacred.

    I’ve been taking cornbread gummies thc with a view a while now, and they’ve honestly been a game-changer against burden and sleep. The first-rate part? No grogginess in the morning just a cool off, pacific impression rather than bed. Supplementary, they bit tickety-boo, opposite from some other supplements I’ve tried. I was skeptical at elementary, but after devotedly using them, I can indubitably whisper they avoid with unwinding after a extended day. If you’re looking for a ordinary practice to iciness without any strange side effects, CBD gummies are significance trying. Just pressurize steadfast you fathom a eminence brand with third-party testing!
