I Think Paul Had A Stronger Stomach Than Me
When Rav Shaul HaTarsi wrote his letter to Timotheus, the bishop of Ephesus, he counselled the latter to “stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.” (1 Timothy 5:23). All I can say is .. lucky fellows.
We had a pretty delightful; if somewhat low priced; bottle of 2005 vintage Chalk Hill Blue Shiraz Cabernet from Angove’s opened yesterday. This wine is a deep ruby colour, with intense strawberry, plum and spicy rhubarb fruit aromas. The palate is medium weight with a persistent strawberry fruit flavour (I’m not making this up .. that’s what some reviewer had to say about it).
Anyway, as delightful as it was, I could only imbibe in no more than 2 glasses before I had to reach out for my supply of Dhamotil. I’m pretty certain it isn’t Angove’s fault. Maybe I should stick to Cabernet Sauvignon. Sigh ….
Anyway .. have a restful Boxing Day. I know I need it.

I just know that JR and I had had a nonstop wine drinking from the nite of Christmas eve till a good dose after Christmas lunch…it was rather maddening to say it even modestly.
And after the lunch, i was laying in the car half sleeping, or was it asleep (partly due to the scorching hot weather) while JR drove me and a fren all the way to penang island for a movie!
