So, once upon a time, a sassy 18 year old girl was working at an Italian restaurant awaiting her acceptance letter to the University of Washington. A regular sitting at the bar inquired about her University status and she confirmed that she had yet to hear anything. As the kind and helpful regular that he was, he suggested that she register with the local community college since classes were about to start in three weeks.
Woah! Hang on a minute! Now we all know community colleges do great things, but she had already spent her time at a community college, not to mention a year at the University of North Texas. Community College? It hadn’t even dawned on her to have a back up plan. She was going to UW and she was going to study psycho-pharmacology and design brain candy and that was that.
Well, the community college suggestion got her thinking, so she sat down and made a list of everything that she wanted in life. She wanted to travel to amazing places, study languages and meet great people. She wanted to climb mountains, explore caves, dive beneath the depths. She wanted to be an artist, a scientist and a philanthropist. She wanted a farm with a vegetable garden so she could make her own peanut butter. She wanted horses and bees and especially a little piggy.
Now, I realize that the above was a huge wind up to this month’s LotM, but in my mind it makes perfect sense (of course).
This month’s label is from the Cayuse Vineyard wine portfolio, the Flying Pig. It’s a Cabernet Franc dominant red blend. I certainly have an infatuation with pigs and wine, so naturally it’s the perfect selection for September. Not to mention that the wine is amazing! Who says fantastic wine can’t come with a fantastically playful label? Come on, the pig even has a jet pack. I’m adding “learn how to fly out of this world” to my list of things to do in life.

PS: I found two other flying pig labels, but they don’t rock nearly as much as THE Flying Pig wine. I included them for fun anyway.
