There are many reasons to love this weekend’s annual Kirkland Uncorked event. Sun, food, wine, shopping—yes, there is all of that. But mainly there’s 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 year’s celebration: “My mouth tastes like summer!” “It’s like a bouquet of bouquet!” “I need a bigger straw!” “This wine goes equally well with brie and Cheez-Its!” “It’s like a Miata in a glass!” “I dropped my iPhone in the toilet again!” “Don’t tell anyone, but I’m not wearing panties!” (21 and over.)
