There are many reasons to love this weekends annual Kirkland Uncorked event. Sun, food, wine, shoppingyes, there is all of that. But mainly theres the pleasure of watching attractive blonde women of a certain age, clad in their nicest sun dresses, drink a little more than is advisable in the July heat. That delicious Columbia Valley Chardonnay goes straight to the head, and tongue, on a warm summer evening. All of which results in some our favorite overheard remarks from last years celebration: My mouth tastes like summer! Its like a bouquet of bouquet! I need a bigger straw! This wine goes equally well with brie and Cheez-Its! Its like a Miata in a glass! I dropped my iPhone in the toilet again! Dont tell anyone, but Im not wearing panties! (21 and over.) T. BOND
