Nice Try, Costco

 Whatever is one to do when Costco teases you with such a cruel choice?

[Last October] I was looking for their famed beer Advent calendar (24 German beers counting down to the Winter Solstice, err, Christmas) and I saw another box of the same idea... but for wine.  I stood frozen in indecision for an entire 4.5 seconds when I resolved my dilemma as handily as Alexander famously resolved his Gordian knot:  I bought both of course!

48 day countdown here I come:


Nice try, Costco, but I see your Advent challenge and I raise you 24...

With great focus and diligence, I worked my way through at a steady pace starting on Daylight Saving Time Ending (Nov 7).  However, I do confess that now, in January, I have yet to finish the entire work.  I have failed.  Nonetheless, I am putting aside my task to do my annual 'dry' check-in with myself.  So a careful scan of the cornucopia below will reveal a few bottles left to reveal their charms to me...
