You know...there are certain stores that you go to that just SCREAM your name. I know a ton of girls who swear by Target...others (especially in the restaurant industry) gives all the props to Ross. I had an ex who could spend fucking HOURS in Trader Joes. Personally, I hate Trader Joes.
For me...my comfort store...
Whole Foods
Weird...no?
All around coolness. The clerks are cool..and you'll probably catch them sporting that mohawk you've been thinking about or the tragus piercing you've wanted forfuckineva. It's one of the only places I can go and shop for normal shit where the people who work there don't have to pretend to be anybody they are'nt. That and they've got a socially conscious business approach..... And it reminds of better times in Berkeley.
Sure it's corporate...but fuckit...you can't live these days without supporting "the man"
Anyway...I know this is a wierd subject...but what brought it on was that Yesterday I went to my local whole foods and found Onix...one of my favorite wines from Spain. I used to sell the shit out of the stuff when I bartended at this luxurious little hot spot in SF.
I bought their last two...and they'd be great gifts if I was'nt so selfish and wanted to keep them to myself.
So for all of you who like wine...and like round, fruit forward varietals like Syrahs or Zins...or for those of you looking for a good last minute gift for Xmas...get the Onix...you or the recipient will likey...I promise...and it's only 10 bucks. That's my free wine advice for the day...next time it'll cost ya.
And now...WE DRINK!

Sorry for the cheetos post. I am a junk food vegetarian. Actually that is why I can stay some what slim. Try goin' veggie or the complete opposite (which as a member of p.e.t.a. I cannot condone) and go low carbs-high fat. It works like a miracle, I swear it.
