Pairing wine with timepiece

This is the first time I bought wine because its name matches what I have on my wrist.



I may even open it tonight. ;-).

That's the way I pick wine, by "cool" labels. My friends think its silly, but what's the goal of drinking wine???? I'm gonna search my local wine store for that bottle.

Now that wine purchase was worth it just for the photo and post.

That namesake wine has some pretty good ratings. Hope you enjoy it as you wear your great-looking watch!

I'm not a wine drinker but I did have Deep Sea to celebrate when I got my Day Date II. I know nothing about wine I just chose it because of the name:)

Cheers.

Can't say much about the wine, but that timepiece is superb!

I don't drink anymore had a problem stopping. But I like the pic and enjoy the wine. I don't deny I miss a drink or two, but I was drinking a 5th every day !

Good wine, might to let it sit for 15-20 minutes before you drink it

Inexpensive, unlike the Oysters we wear. The Sauvignon Blanc isn't bad on a hot summer day, just don't purchase expecting to satisfy the craving for your favorite Sancerre.

For our slightly less discriminating members, don't forget there was a Rolex Thunderbird watch!

The goal of drinking good wine, like buying Rolexes, is to go bankrupt.
