monday we started the day with breakfast at the resort at 8 and we all had massages scheduled at 9. oh man it felt so good. gary wasn't sure if he wanted one, then he relented and said 'but make mine just 30 minutes'. we all snickered. the grin on his face when he wandered out to the lounge after his hour was priceless! he was so glad he took the full hour.
after lunch christopher bowed out but the rest of us went on a private little wine-tasting tour in oregon. there was a couple from sweden, johann and madelaine? that joined us. we went to 5 tasting rooms, the last which actually poured for 2 wineries. what a blast. hot tubs again that night. all pics below are pretty self-explanatory.
*warning* - bottles from the last winery may not be suitable for younger readers.

[above: 'naked, uncorked'; naked gris is our chillin' wine. smooth, ripe and a bit silky, this wine delivers a full frontal blast of sun country nose that explodes midpalate. stripping the skins down to the bare essentials, it's hard to take your eyes off those luscious legs as they streak down the glass. sip into something a little more naked... wouldn't you a-gris? ]
[above: 'gay rose'; bright and flamboyant bouquet/light and fruity in a fabulous way/drink it with pride/you'll be satisfied/gay, the queen of rose! at naked winery we focus on removing the pecksniffery from the wine. we believe you should drink what you like, not what others say is good. savor our wines from a tin cup by a romantic campfire or imbibe them in a wild afair. get uncorked and enjoy what life unexpectedly brings you.]
[above: 'virgin, we aim to tease'; experience virgin once or again for the very first time. a velvety and youthful wine with an extrememly tantalizing bouquet. its soft tannins, creamy butterscotch and vanilla flavors will delight and excite you, it ends with a memorable sweetness. will your next virgin be the same?]
[above: 'tease, sip into something a little more naked'; tantalizing to the eye and playfully seductive, this tease promises to be a sure thing. sweet perfumes of candied melons and brazillian spices will moisten your palate, not to mention your khakis. an innocent sip of the glass, with a skilled tongue, sparks a burning desire for the long sweet finish. we aim to tease.]
[above: 'foreplay'; foreplay teases your sense upfront with a bouquet of luscious ripe fruit. no hurry here...once uncorked let it breathe and work into a nice rhythm as it warms up. anticipate the sweetness at the end, complimenting the silky tannins. a little foreplay goes a long way.]
[above: 'sugar daddy'; charming sugar daddy seeks hot blooded companion for a mutually beneficial affair. i'm a grape catch, berry berry wealthy, and have a dog named cupcake. i'll prove that single old vines can still produce big fruit with a huge core of honey that will leave a sweet taste in your mouth. such me dry. i won't be around for long.]
[above: 'pinot noir'; naked is our bare-all wine. stripped of traditional attitudes, only the free-spirited grapes go into this voluptuous wine. lusty with a smooth complexion and long legs. this wine gives a full-frontal of ripe cherries with a firm well-rounded end. who doesn't love to get naked?]
[above: 'diva'; succulent soft and silky, diva is our prima wine. our diva belts out proud cherry overtones that command the palate to resonate with intrigue. strawberry and chocolate press against full bodied tannins to finish like a perfect kiss on her pouting lips. this wine is daring, drop-dead delicious, and will leave you begging for more. she's a diva!]
[above: 'penetration'; penetration is a woody wine with depth. a big upfront nose with a solid oak presence. rich cherry and plum flavors rub the buds deep down on your tongue. watch the legs release as they spread to perfection down the glass and feel the solid oak presence grow. intense concentration with a huge extract. open up, relax and get penetrated tonight.]
[above: 'octopusse'; elegant and discreet, this octopusse loves being on top of everyone's tentacles. it's alluring full body is for your eyes only. while(?) its arousing octet of floral overtones and entangled fruit serves as its license to chill. expect this pussy galore...as always, to seduce your palate into a jet propelled, explosive finale. have some respect for the octopusse, or prepare to have your cover blown!]
yes, i had to picture every bottle. there's no way anyone would believe me if i was trying to tell you about it. i just couldn't make that shit up!
