RANDOM ENCOUNTER: 11.21.05
Warren Moon

Time/Location: Around 5:10pm. Beringer Estates Wine Tasting Room, St. Helena, CA.

And I know him from: Well, I didn't know who he was. The Lady in the shoppe at the Beringer Vinyards knew who he was and told Mat and I, and then I looked him up on the Wikipedia. He's a retired footballer of the quarterback variety. He even played American football in Canada, which I didn't know that they did!

Did I speak to him: No. I was too wasted. Mat and I got a private Historical Tour of the Beringer Estates because no one else signed up for it that day. So, we also got a private wine tasting. Also, Warren was surrounded by large men and beautiful women. We got so scared.

My general feeling about this encounter: Well, we were dilly-dallying and trying to decide which bottles to buy in the store, when we realized that the store was trying to close. The only reason they were still open was because former QB Warren Moon was boozin' it up with some ladies in the tasting room. So, thanks QBWM for allowing us a little more time to shop.

And Any Exciting News or Gossip? Our tour guide, Tim, found his appreciation for wine when he came home one night S-T-O-N-E-D to find an open bottle of merlot on the kitchen counter. Also, we found out that in Napa Valley, when you walk around with your young-uns on Halloween, you bring with you an empty wine glass and get it filled at every house along the way.

Cosmological Reason for Encounter: I think it's clear what this encounter means in the whole scheme, don't you?
