Wine: More than your Parents' Potable
Candlelight, flowers, music and dancing ... the perfect setting for a night out on the town with that special someone. As you stare dreamily into his eyes and think the night couldn't get any better, he pops the question. No - not the marriage question - instead he asks you if you'd like to drink some wine to go with your meal.
Burning Elegance: Time slows at downtown tobacconist

You've come a long way, baby.
