Best Wine Story Ever!

Last night the four of us shared a bottle of wine to remember! Last Christmas I received a beautiful bottle of vintage wine (read "expensive"!). It was from a friend as a thank you. I put it in our wine rack to save for a special occasion. A couple weeks later we were invited to friends for dinner and I was in a hurry to get out the door (what else is new?), and decided to take a bottle of wine. I went to our wine rack and quickly pulled out a bottle of red, never thinking that this was the one!! We took it with us and as our friends opened the bag I suddenly realized my mistake - there was no way I could say "Oh, sorry I wasn't supposed to bring this expensive wine, I mean to bring a cheap one - sigh". We came home and decided to google the wine - it was worth $39.95. I said to Rip that I hope they enjoy this lovely bottle, and I bet they won't even know how exceptional, meaning, expensive it is. Oh well, life is too short to worry about this. Just before we left for our trip, these friends came over to our house for dinner. They handed me a bag with a bottle of wine, saying they don't know what it is like, but hoped we enjoy it. You guessed it! They brought back my gift!! What were the chances of that?Needless to say I did not open it at dinner that night but set aside to share with Jen and Przem on our trip. Boy, did we enjoy every sip - how come it always tastes better when you know it is expensive? I guess because it is truly great wine. But I'll be back soon to my $9.95 specials, but treasure the best wine story ever!
