Honey?! Honey, have you seen my AlexEli Vineyards & Winery Willamette Valley Sampler 4-pack? I swear I just had it here a second ago. No, sweetie, I’m talking about the one with a bottle of 2008 AlexEli Willamette Valley Gewürztraminer, a bottle of 2009 AlexEli Willamette Valley Riesling, and two bottles of 2008 AlexEli Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. I must have set them down absentmindedly and now I can’t find them anywhere!

I put the mail on the table with the lamp, and then went into the kitchen to chill the 2009 AlexEli Willamette Valley Riesling in the refrigerator so that its well-balanced and light-bodied citrus palate is nice and crisp. Is it there? No, that’s right, I told myself I’d put it in the fridge after I took a…
That’s it! Honey, are you in the bathroom? Will you turn around and check the tub for the AlexEli Vineyards & Winery Willamette Valley Sampler 4-pack? It’s there?! Oh good!
