Temptation

Oh, Trader Joe's, why do you tempt me?
I bought this bottle of wine just because of the bottle shape and the lovely golden color.


 
When Tucker walked in from school, he was immediately drawn to the bottle too. "What is this?" he asked.
"Wine,"I said.
"Can I open it?" he asked. Of course, he's too young to drink, but he said he didn't want to taste it, he was just drawn to open it.
There's something definitely alluring about this bottle and the color.
I let him open it and as the cork slipped out it popped. The moscato d'asti apparently has bubbles!
I poured a little bit in a glass to taste it and sealed it. I hope it's still good when Earl gets home tonight. I'd hate to have to drink it all alone. 
As if the tempting wine was not enough, around the next corner at  Trader Joe's, I found these holiday favorites: shortbread cookies covered with chocolate.
Hurry home college kids before I eat them all.
