To the Victor Go the Spoils

And a bottle of Matthew Cellars 2001 Columbia Valley Red, compliments of the Culinary Fool and her Seattle Seahawks losing in the Super Bowl.

We had a bet, and my winnings arrived yesterday. As you can see above and to the right, B tried to cover up her obvious shame by burying the bottle in Seahawks gear. She's a gracious loser, I'll give her that. I think Ben Roethlisbeagle will enjoy ripping the wrist bands to shreds. (Just teasing, I know a Seahawks fan here at the office I think he has kids. So they'll get the gear most likely). And the wrist bands are actually a nice touch for protecting the bottl as well. Nicely done, B.

The bottle is now resting comfortably (sans bands) in my wine fridge for future enjoyment.

I think Wesley Snipes said it best..."Always bet on black" (and gold). Go Steelers.

I assume no laws were broken by shipping that wine through the mail :-).

Congratulations to the Steelers.

Congrats, Lenn, and enjoy every drop of your winnings!

Shame?!?!? What's to be ashamed of? I love my hawks and am looking forward to next year when the title will be ours for sure! In fact, I thought you might want to hang on to the 12th man accouterments since once the Steelers are out of the race you may wish you had them!

Glad to see it arrived in one piece and wasn't confiscated along the way. (Ray, we won't tell if you won't...)

And yes, proper "packing materials" make all the difference in the world. :-)
