Tempranillo in my Drink holder!

Dear Members of AC,

A couple of you have asked how the bottle of Red came to be in my drink holder... So I thought I would send this out and then you can all find out at once!

I rode in the TDU & Ride Like Crazy in Jan 2011.. I used these events to raise funds for my daughters' school. The school community and a local church help me to raise $650 which was then used to purchase sporting equipment for their new Gymnasium. A further $100 was donated to Cancer Council.

I was given this Red via a friend.. who happened to know I loved it.. '2007 Tempranillo~ Bird in Hand Winery'.

I rode to collect some funds raised and as it was only around the corner, I didn't take a bag. He gave me the wine that day.

The safest way for me to carry it home was for me to put it in the drink holder ..it's now in my Cellar! :-)

Thinking it was funny I took a few photos!

Perfect for my profile picture don't you think!?

Regards to all,

Sasha

Comment by Patrick O'Kane on November 14, 2011 at 21:03: I'd have drunk that before I got home.

Comment by Don (Who's lost?) Nairn on November 14, 2011 at 22:51: I suppose now wine comes in screw tops it is a lot more practical.

It seems if you need somebody to help you open it there would be plenty of volunteers.

Comment by MARK FERGUSON (SPARTACUS) on November 15, 2011 at 9:53: Screw tops are the best way to cap a wine bottle far better than a cork!

Comment by FLUIDDELTA on November 15, 2011 at 12:09: Didn't realise this would provoke a discussion on 'bottling' ;) LOL
