The Wine Loving Ass

I love this.

I'll bet there are quite a few wine loving asses on sowal! I know a few! :lol:

Good wine is whatever wine you like. There is nothing more boring than a wine snob. We would like to see the mystique removed from wine enjoyment, as it is in other countries. Here in the Wine Country, we seek out obscure, small production wines that take their fruit from vineyards either in great locations and/or are tended by the most highly regarded viticulturists. And the real status coup is when we can cop a 90-something rated wine that just happened out at a price below $20...this happens more often than you might think. We have purchased Cabernets from Benzinger and even the old Christian Brothers that rated in the high 90s and were considerably below $20. You peel the label off or cover with brown paper and watch reactions.

Guess I'm a wine ass, too...without the cigar.

I know some whine asses!!!!

I know some whine asses!!!!

Me too! I work with most of them! 😱

These smilies all have names!! Uh...I guess you already knew that!!! :roll:

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Apologies in advance to anyone who finds this offensive, but I literally had tears in my eyes reading this to my husband a few minutes ago. Found on a website called winostuff.com on a blog of sorts called "Bob's Page." This excerpt gives new meaning to the term, "the wine loving ass."

"In the strange-but-true category of wine and people and strange things people do with wine, this little item caught my eye. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to enjoy the fruit of the vine and have talked about wine in cheese, wine with chocolate wine and health benefits, but it took a 42 year old woman from Texas to enlighten me of using wine to flush my brake lines, if you know what I mean?"

Woman Accused of Giving Lethal Sherry Enema

HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas woman has been indicted for criminally negligent homicide for causing her husband's death by giving him a sherry enema, a police detective said on Wednesday.

Tammy Jean Warner, 42, gave Michael Warner two large bottles of sherry on May 21, which raised his blood alcohol level to 0.47 percent, or nearly six times the level considered legally drunk in Texas, police detective Robert Turner in Lake Jackson, Texas, told the Houston Chronicle.

"We're not talking about little bottles here," Turner said. "These were at least 1.5-liter bottles."

Warner, 58, was said to have an alcohol problem and received the wine enema because a throat ailment left him unable to drink the sherry, Turner told the newspaper.

"I heard of this kind of thing in mortuary school in 1970, but this is the first time I've ever heard of someone actually doing it," said Turner, who led the lengthy investigation in the case.

The woman admitted administering the enema, but denied causing her husband's death, the Chronicle said.

A dispatcher for the Lake Jackson police said only Turner could discuss the case, but he did not return phone calls from Reuters.

Along with negligent homicide, Mrs. Warner was indicted for burning her husband's will a month before his death. Both charges carry maximum penalties of two years in prison.

Mrs. Warner surrendered to police on Monday and was released on $30,000 bail, the newspaper said.

"So now the big question... what brand of sherry did Mr. Warner enjoy at his last hooray, and is that company going to be dragged into a lawsuit as being partly responsible for not labeling their sherry with the following, soon-to-be-required warning label?

WARNING- this wine-based product is not intended to be enjoyed through your ass. Drinking sherry through your ass constitutes a clear violation of the intended use of this product and may lead to fever, cramps, explosive diarrhea and death. However, if you choose to drink our product through your ass, my we suggest a soft cheese like brie since Pecorino may be too sharp to ingest. Drink responsibly, intended for mature audiences.

Overheard by one reporter was Mrs. Warner telling the officer she was innocent since she does not drink sherry. It always left a bad taste in her mouth. Hey don?t blame me for this one, I know the difference between my ass and my elbow and my mouth?."

HOUSTON - A Texas woman indicted last month for allegedly giving her husband a lethal sherry enema said he was an enema addict who did it to himself, a newspaper reported Thursday.

Tammy Jean Warner said late husband Michael Warner had an alcohol problem and enjoyed giving himself wine or sherry enemas because his body would absorb the spirits more quickly that way.

?That?s the way he went out and I?m sure that?s the way he wanted to go out because he loved his enemas,? she told the Houston Chronicle.
