It's a beautiful sunny morning and I'm sitting there in the breakfast nook, enjoying my morning beer...(er, uh, breakfast I mean)... Just sitting there admiring the collection. "Man", I'm thinkin', "Don't they all look great up there on the shelf with the sun shining through?". It's going to be a good day!!
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see a small glimmer of light reflected from the top of my dark cherry puce Drake's. "That doesn't look right" [8|], I say. So I put down my breakfast and go take a look. As I get closer, I'm bobbing my head back and forth with the sun behind the bottle, still admiring the terrific color, but this ominous reflection of light is now showing in the neck, too.
"What the @*#% ?", I'm thinking, "What is that??!!??"......
Now I'm about a foot away, still bobbing my head back and forth, trying to figure out what I'm seeing and fearing the worse. I'm looking and looking, trying to comprehend, and then it hits me.
"NO, NO, NO!!! It Can't be!!!". But yes it is, a CRACK extending from the top of the lip, down to about 1-inch into the neck!!! []
"AARRGGHH!!!!" [][][][][][][][][][]
I've had this bottle for months!! How can it be that I never noticed that crack before?!? I carefully washed it when I got it, I've looked at it a gazillion times, in all kinds of light, and I could swear I never noticed the crack before. Never!!! Granted, the crack is extremely hard to see and you have to get the light just right (like it was this morning in the sun), but still... How could I have missed it before??!!?? [][][]
Well, thanks for listening...I just had to vent. I guess it's time to pour...(er, uh, I mean cook)...more breakfast. []
