i want to spend my lifetime loving you

So far, Big Kahuna tempranillo is my Cheap-o Red Wine of the Year. It is $1.99 at Fresh & Easy. It goes down really smoothly. It is a robust wine because it comes from Spain. Most importantly, it does not taste cheap.

I also like the blue surfboard label and twisty cap. I am just that shallow.

Another Disney Cruise post. Of course!
