Revisiting the wine story from Saturday night – when I stopped at my parent’s house earlier this evening I told them about what happened. As soon as I said that the guy was trying to find a Chardonney at the gas station my Mom started to laugh and said the same thing I did – “What *was* he thinking?!” A few minutes later my Dad was checking his e-mail and started to read to me one of the items on the list of things you will never hear at the Daytona 500, “What a fantastic Merlot!” Yeah, you’ll never here that at the local Exxon either!

I still can’t believe the guy was looking for the high brow stuff at the gas station!

In the early hours of Sunday morning as I launched the new domain name, I was fortunate enough to have Rannie to keep me company on IM. After hearing what the new name for the site was, he photographed and made me a plate full of pink cookies.

I knew I had to do something with those cookies. So we have a new feature here at BigPinkCookie.com – send me your cookies, and I’ll share them on the site! (Next up will be THE big pink cookie photograph that Kymberlie took of the cookies that started it all.)

I was out shopping earlier and on the way home decided to stop at the corner Exxon to pick up some Pepsi. I was standing in line to pay behind a woman cashing her lottery tickets and a man in a suit buying a bottle of wine. As he finished paying, he asked the cashier, “Is this the only wine you have? It’s terrible.” The cashier said no, he thought they had others … and as they walked over the the case the guy said to the cashier that he was looking for a Chardonney.

I couldn’t resist. The moment was too perfect. I turned and looked at the guy behind me and said, “He expects Exxon to have a selection of wine?” The guy behind me said, “Yes, and a particular Chardonney at that!” The other guy in the line almost lost it, he was laughing so hard.

If I’m ever looking for some high quality wine, I’ll go to Circle K or 7-11. Maybe the Shell or Chevron. I’m sure they will have the perfect ’94 Chablis waiting for me. Right. Who tries to be a wine connoisseur at the gas station?
