The Toronto Sun calls Black Tower a retro wine. The sort of wine that kids drank before they knew better. The type of wine that can be described by a single word. BEWARE!

Should you consume anything that costs less than $10 bottle? I would say yes. Even if its for the memory trip back to high school, or whenever, that you used to drink this demi-goddess wine.

Even the bottle has lost half of its darkness. It sort of looks like a person dressed in evening clothes but then dropped their drawers. This is apparently to show potential consumers that the wine is actually white inside.

I’m so going to go back their soon. And get out that high school year book.

Have you ever confidently asked for a particular bottle of wine. One that you thought for sure would impress that important someone opposite you? And I don’t mean your significant other. I mean the waiter standing beside you.

In this fancy restaurant in Banff Canada I ordered this nice white wine that came in a classic bottle. I mean who couldn’t be taken away by the logo and the overall branding and make of the bottle itself. The contents must surely be ambrosia.

Apparently, the German White Wine “Black Tower” is not held in high regard by all. The reprimand by the waiter still stands out in my mind today. Like a branded tattoo. But I have come so far since then.

Had to run up to the cottage to fix the heat. Have to stay overnight to get another part in the morning. And a bottle of wine seemed like a good thing. At the time.

So, if one is not texting anyone in particular, but rather posting to the world at large, and they aren’t listening, do the posts resonate?

I would have to say yes. And usually at the most inappropriate times.

The setting sun is behind me. The rising full moon is in front. The sandy beach is buried beneath the driven snow.

Temperature is -30. A far cry from the +30 six months from now.

But better times are coming. They always do.
