That means that friend would lose his right to buy booze as well, just like when he would buy a bottle of vodka for a 10 year old. Insides people houses...

Memorial Day weekend and traditional fare was on the menu. Whipped up a batch of home-made BBQ sauce and did several slabs of baby-back ribs on the grill. Added some baked Pinto beans (this is Texas, after all) and a huge bowl of my personal-best potato salad. SWMBO contributed a strawberry-rhubarb pie topped with some vanilla ice cream for the finish.

Breaking out of the Yellowtail rut for the holiday, I stumbled upon some Georges DuBoeuf Fleurie at Central Market on Friday. Properly chilled and enjoyed with the spread. I'd forgotten the joys of a cru Beaujolais, particularly in the summer. Wine was dark, almost brownish. Hints of some spice on the nose and then a lovely light mouth experience. More floral than fruity. Lavender and violets maybe? Will definitely bring Bo-Jos back into the equation for the remains of the summer season.

Central Market had a good selection of major players in the Beaujolais business as well as some less common names to explore. Wife is well into this mission as once she was reminded that cru Beaujolais are NOT at all similar to Noveau Bo-Jo.
