admission of guilt

following a seemingly endless thursday of reading, reading, more reading, then class with former special assistant to president clinton for latin america arturo valenzuela, i was ready to flop in my apartment. i had a great comfort food dinner of grilled cheese and homemade french fries with paola and retreated to my apartment to clean up and, of course try out a new wine. i find myself entangled in a recurring dilemna where i never want to drink an entire bottle of wine by myself, but i am not a real "save the rest for tomorrow" wine drinker. wine just never tastes quite as good to me after spending a night in the fridge. as a result, i oftentimes drink half a bottle of wine, save the rest only to have a half a glass the next day and then pour it out a week later when it is clearly no longer drinkable. i am aware this is a terrible and incredibly wasteful offense, probably deserving of a one way ticket straight to wine hell, or at least purgatory. The only half-solution i have found so far is to have a couple of cheaper bottles of wine around that i feel less bad about wasting. needless to say, this is a bad solution. of course i usually share bottles with one or more friends, so this isn't an issue, but on the off chance i get in a wine drinking mood when i am alone in my apt, this conundrum presents itself. any thoughts? i have had mixed success with the air-sucker-outer apparatuses.
