Oregon Wine and Reading Plans
Monday, September 1st, 2008
We just got off the train from Eugene, Oregon. When we arrived at the Amtrak station last night to check our luggage, I almost had a heart attack when the ticket agent told us we couldn’t check our case of painstakingly-chosen Pinot Noir. On the trip up, there was no problem with the shipper of Rosenblum that I intended to trade (though the trading part was not so easy, and I ended up giving bottles away). She did allow us to carry on the bulky box, making the on and off through the crowds a lot harder. At least we got to take it, as I’m not sure what we would have done otherwise. I think the two options that crossed my mind were crying hysterically and hitting her over the head with one of the heavy bags. Luckily, neither was necessary and all bottles arrived safely.
What with all the unpacking and unwinding and the intense urge to cook after eating out all week, I hope to have the very short (seems that not many participated this go) WBC 4 round up done sometime tomorrow.
