I threw out my bottle as soon as I read the news ;)<br /><br />But then I had some second thoughts and all that schoolin' kicked in and I started to run some rough numbers through my desiccated cortex.<br /><br />But since it's harder these days to make child support, student loans and rent as a doctor in Khaleefohneea, I'm putting a few eggs in the wine writing basket and thought it would be pretty lame to dash my chances over a few days of nasal congestion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-26494287200823441672009-06-23T20:08:17.192-07:002009-06-23T20:08:17.192-07:00Red Wine Buzz,

(Wink) You are right and I should have included more information in this post, I just freaked at the idea of losing one's sense of smell....thought better safe than sorry.
