   |  DebatableSeptember 24, 2008 at 12:10 am by john Debatable Well, the first presidential debate is airing this Friday evening and it is probably going to be the most watched debate in political history. Now, we hate to dissuade anyone from coming to our Friday tasting so use your tivos wisely and join us for some pre-debate political pontification. But when you do sit down to watch the debate, let us offer some drinking....ahh...tasting advice.
Are you a McCain fan? Well you may want to go with our Orcella Orsus Garnacha 2001 or Copertino Riserva 2001, both those wines have quite a bit of age on them. They've been around the block...straight shooters...and unlike McCain, have not spent any time in the direct sun.
Now for the Obama-Rama crowd, based on the reports we've seen, it seems you'll need something that pairs with arugula. Perhaps our Auratus Portuguese white, a crisp, dry wine that would work with any rightwing-perceived-sissy-greens. Or if CHANGE is what you desire, go for something different...maybe our Bordelet Dry Apple Cider from France or the Black Chook Sparkling Shiraz from Australia. Speaking of change...
Should you need more incentive to watch the debates (though that is bordering on a crime)...here's an idea to keep your head in the game.... drink/sip everytime McCain smiles innapropriately drink/sip everytime Obama says "silly season" drink/sip everytime McCain says "my friends" drink/sip everytime anyone says CHANGE (even Jim Lehrer)
