I'm thinking that I've had enough angst for the week...so I am giving Oprah a rest for a few days...terrorism, bird flu, and teenage suicide all in one week is more than I can manage! I'm thinking an afternoon of Spongebob, Elmo, or Singing in the Rain might be more to my liking for the rest of the week.
Got an email from our friend in Wichita...with the following breaking news...just had to share it with you all.
BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) -- Some Walmart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount item: Walmart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto,California, to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2-5 range. While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of WalMart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for cheap wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. She said: "The right name is important."
So, here we go: The top 12 suggested names for Walmart Wine:
12. Chateau Traileur Parc
11. White Trashfindel
10. Big Red Gulp
9. Grape Expectations
8. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays"
7. NASCARbernet
6. Chef Boyardeaux
5. Peanut Noir
4. Chateau des Moines
3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
2. World Championship Riesling
And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine ...
1. Nasti Spumante
The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with white meat (Possum) and red meat (squirrel).
And there you have it folks...coming soon to a Walmart near you...but not in Oklahoma!

I think I have had some Nasti Spumante before - I just didn't realize it was from Wal-Mart. Makes perfect sense now.
