Winehiker Witiculture


Falling over the Clif laughing

I enjoyed a good chuckle tonight when I arrived home from work. There on the steps was a UPS package addressed to Winehiker Reviews Wine. It looked like it could contain a bottle of wine, but when I picked it up, the package wasn’t heavy enough to contain a 750ml bottle - at least a full one. Curious, naturally, and Swiss Army knife at hand, always, I set down the sunglasses, the keys, and the mail and proceeded to open the little brown mystery box.

Seems those nice folks at Clif Bar liked last week’s post about their wines so much that they decided to “sweeten” the deal by sending me two cases of Carrot Cake Clif bars - my favorite!

Clif bars come in lots of flavors. I've tried 'em all, but I keep coming back to Carrot Cake. Oh yes, I like *real* carrot cake, too.

Golly, if Kit & Gary ever decide to open a restaurant, I will be so there.

Though I suppose it’ll be a bit hard to ship a four-course, five-star dining experience via UPS. Not that I wouldn’t take receipt of such, mind you. Indeed, there are times when I am easily amused.

Thanks, Clif Bar!
