Playing the Game

I am not sure if I ever mentioned the name of my friend who really first introduced me to wine, but her name is Kelly.

Kelly and I have grown to become quite good friends and we share a lot of interests and stories now that we are expanding our wine horizons.
One interesting observation I have found is that a few of my other girl friends are a tad jealous of this new Kelly-girl.
So in the interest of preserving my affiliation with my old friends, I thought it would be vital
that I try and at least include them in our newly forming wine circle.

Last Friday night, Kelly and I treated my good friend Casey to a few drinks.
Now I love Casey and have hesitated on taking her out drinking because she is one of those girls who tends to get a little too drunk,
and needs a “parent-type” to watch over her. Perhaps one of my central motivations for liking wine
so much is that I really haven’t encountered a sloppy drunk with wine before.
Well tonight we were to find out if that idea still holds with an amateurish drinker like Casey.

Since it was a Friday night, the bar was popping and we were all in good spirits.
We were all dressed cute, Casey in a low cut dress which is what she often wore to accentuate her huge natural chest.
Kelly in tight pants and a tee. She didn’t have the boobs like Casey, but she was very lean and well built.
I wore pants and a low cut top too. Hey, if you have ‘em, flaunt ‘em right?
From the looks of it, the three of us girls were a perfect match. But, I could sense Casey’s hesitation to give Kelly a chance,
so I figured we best order a bottle right away. Kelly and I decided to go with a nice white wine
(Robert Mondavi Woodbridge Pinot Grigio, California) and to our surprise Casey liked it!
That was our first step towards a very interesting night.

Instead of a bar drinking game, I thought it might be fun to make up a
wine one. Not having the slightest clue what we could do, I invited the two girls to close their eyes.
They glanced at each other and giggled at first, but something new and exciting is always hard to pass up.

In order to experiment around, I ordered another glass of wine, but this time
(a different wine altogether - Kenwood Sauvignon Blanc, California) I wanted them to taste each glass again,
and see if they could pick out any flavors or scents. I was impressed at Casey’s willingness
to submit an observation and at her lack of hesitation. I also wanted to see if her and Kelly would choose
any of the same scents so I had them write it down on a bar napkin.
For every scent they got the same, they could ask me to do something, or answer a question.
I know it’s a little childish, but as long as you’re having fun, who cares?

There we were, three sexy girls having fun sipping wine and trying to dissect it’s flavors.
We were having a great time, and I was so excited at the thought of adding a new girl to our group.
As luck would have it a cute boy approached the bar and being eyeing us girls.
He casually tried to listen to our conversation, waiting for the right moment to interject.
I could see that Casey was excited and impressed with him.

When it came time to dish out the duties of our makeshift truth or dare game, Casey shocked me with a twist.
Casey invited the boy into our game. She told him he’s got one chance and two sips to try and pick a scent.
If he chooses one that either Casey or Kelly have chosen, they will give him a kiss.
If he chooses one that they have BOTH chosen, they will both give him a kiss. I smiled with delight.
Not only were my two girls getting along, expanding their horizons and being aggressive,
but Casey was not falling over drunk. This could be the beginning of something wonderful, I thought.


Unfortunately the young man was just as putzy and he looked and didn’t seem to like the idea of trying something new.
No worries, we continued to play our game with Casey’s rules, except I was the one trying to match the scents.
Lucky for me I had seen what they wrote and snagged a few free kisses.
Hey, I am not stupid, I am an opportunist and though I don’t like kissing on a regular basis,
there is something about kissing girls with their soft lips, and when it is a spurt of the moment
thing that is just HOT! And of course, I was fighting for the greater good of bonding my two girl friends,
I think it worked! Now we have special plans to go out again next week, except this time,
we will recruit a few additional players to join our little game.
We just want to try it for one more week because we think it could be pretty fun, and full of potential!

Though next week, we might switch bars. 2/18/05 I'll add more next week...
