Bringing Wine to a Dinner Party

We are heading over to friends for a dinner party tonight so I had to go buy some wine to bring.  The new release of Bogle's Phantom is out so I bought a couple bottles.  If you have not had Phantom before it is a great wine you should try.

Here are a few songs about wine that you should check out as well:
The Replacements - Red Red Wine
Eric Burdon - Spill The Wine
Kevin Kerby (Mulehead) - Cheap Red Wine
Otis Redding - Champagne and Wine
Elvis Costello - Down Among The Wine And Spirits

Elvis will be in Dallas at Nokia on Sept 2nd

My favorite cover is by Ben Sollee, a young cello player from Lexington, KY.
