Red, red wine

There was a time in the not so distant past that this blog was known as Drunk Writer Talk. We all enjoyed the occasional libation, mainly in moderation, but truth be told, occasionally not. We thought it was funny. We decided to change the name of the blog for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that we really didn’t talk about drinking that much. We talked about books, movies, craft, pop culture.

Well, I’m going to throw it back today. I’m going to talk about booze. I’ve noticed recently that it seems like almost all of my most favorite shows, the ones I watch right away and don’t let build up on the DVR, the ones who I want to talk about later, feature a lot of red wine.

Castle and Beckett? They seem to either have cups of coffee or glasses of red wine in their hands. I totally get that.

Olivia Pope? Dear lord, that woman can toss back a glass of pinot! Alicia Florrick? Oh, yeah, baby. Although I’m guessing she’s kind of a cabernet woman. Maybe zinfandel. I think even the folks on Modern Family seem to have nice big round glasses of red around a lot.

My point? I actually don’t have one. Except that I’m starting to wonder if I’m picking TV shows based on them having characters I want to drink with.
