Lulu Loves Libations!

But she can do without all those Sugar Plums dancing in her head.

Best Wishes from the Wicked Wine Wenches!

"Rebel Red" and "Wicked White", say "Don't do anything we wouldn't do!

Do Wicked Wine Wenches Have Super Egos?

Forget about reclining on a couch with your favorite counsellor! Just drop by and sample some great grapes from "Therapy Vineyards" -- makers of that feisty "Freudian Sip", puffy "Pink Freud", and that simply sparkling "SuperEgo"!

Beware of a chronologically-gifted hirusitic male who offers to interpret your dreams (for only $49.95 plus GST) or majestic-looking merlot sipper named Prince Charming who's on the lookout for the owner of a glass slipper. If truth be told, there both trifling tipplers...ignore them and take a long sip of that sparkling SuperEgo honey!

WICKED WENCH WINE CLUB - INTRODUCTION

The "Wicked Wench Wine Club" is an outcome of many years of whine and cheese parties, (which leave most women with tears in the eyes and a bad taste in their mouths).

Perhaps it was the succesful launch of a friendly fermented fruit festival, appropriately named "Feast of Fools" here in the capital of nuts, flakes and fruitcakes (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada), that prompted the idea of forming a women only wine club.

Whatever the case may be, it's just a unique way for Goddesses of Grapes, Giggles, & Great Gatherings to get together once a month and learn more about wine, share some stories, and let our Inner Imps out to play in the company of like-minded ladies who wish to enjoy a light snack or two and a little libation."

WICKED WENCHES KNOW A GOOD WINE WHEN THEY SEE ONE!

Apparently the "Times Colonist", hailing from the capital of flakes, nuts and fruitcakes (Victoria, BC), recently informed its readers that women have a fear of buying wine.

Clearly, this venerable newspaper had no inkling of the fact that vintage vixens not only have no fear and simply adore fine vines, but like many other wicked wenches, they know how to wink with their wine if the occasion calls for it.

According to Copeland Communications, "wineries around the globe are trying to corner the chick wine market by rebranding or creating new blends with names such as 'Strut', 'Bitch' and 'Pink'. The wine bottles have eye catching labels with things like sexy cocktail dresses, vamp red lips, stilettos or the 'Pretty in Pink' theme to name but a few angles" to capture the attention of light-hearted libation lovers.

WHERE THERE'S A WILL,THERE'S A WAY...AND I'LL HAVE IT WITH WINE!

I, MAXINE, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it, or lawyers/doctors interested in simply running up the bills. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

Glass of wine or a Bloody Mary

Chocolate

Margarita

Martini

Cold Beer

French Fries

Ice Cream

Mexican Food

Pizza

Sex

it should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.
