So funny...

I'm laughing outloud as I read your post! That is so true about the wine. To say they are "crappy" is an understatement. I believe they serve Vendage or Copperfield (wood/ridge)...I pass too...box wines are on the same level as those two. If I remember, I will bring a nice bottle--a good staple for me is Clou du Bois (sp?)...Cab...and bring that vacuum sealer and it stays good for the week in my room! Glad to see that I am not the only one that does this!
