Since you've heard from me last we've bought a house, moved and are expecting our 3rd child.
Just kidding. But we did move into our new place. And I still drink wine.
With that said, I bring you the, 2013 PTAW, or 2013 Purple Tooth Autumn Awards. Today's awards will pay tribute to some of the greatest lyrics ever sung into a microphone while wearing headphones in a recording studio.
1 a.) "Watch out boy, she'll chew you up,"Hall. I think. Oates, maybe, but I doubt it.

This award goes to celebrating our 11th year of marriage. Happy anniversary to us. The Vons butcher cut these filets special for us and they did not disappoint.
There was a time when I knew how to get 2 pics together. There was also a time when I cared about things like that. Those steaks were in the convo for my best ever. Notice Beth's influence on me after 11 years? EVER! That wine on the left in the background, though. Ugh.
I SOOO wanted this awesome looking bottle to live up to its $39.99 price tag. Its no secret that I love me some Spanish wine. I think, in terms of bang for the buck, Spain is where it's at. So I figured since I love what I can get in the $6.99 - $12.99 range, it was time to venture out. See what Spain really had to offer. Now, I know it's not fair to judge an entire country's wine making on one pricier bottle, but based on the '99 Faustino, I see no reason to pay that much for Spanish wine again.
Did I mention that my steaks were freaking fabulous? They were.
2. "Bustin' makes me feel good," Ray Parker Jr.

What would a Purple Tooth post be without the Jansens? Lame. That's what.
Our last outing, their first in our new casa led to this damage:
Undisputed results of the evening:
1. Belle Gloss Pinot (shocker)
2. Dr. Loosen Riesling (awesome white!)
3. Meiomi 2012 (more on that later)
4. Monchoff Riesling
5. Patz & Hall Pinot
What I learned: I need big full bodied Pinots or else I should I drink another varietal. No more waisting my money. Patz & Hall's stuff is admired by many. But not me. Too light. Meg, I'm glad you liked it.
3. "We'll go all the way to heaven," Gregory Allen
- Shake You Down
That's a shot of the first 2012 Meiomi I cracked. It happened to be on the patio of Jared & Jill Still's Palos Verdes ocean front casita during their California whirlwind trip. So beautiful.
In my humble, uneducated opinion, the 2012 Meiomi is the best I've had. I know the 2011 grabbed some lofty numbers, but I don't think anyone will think they waisted their $17 on this. It's awesome.
4. "Out where the corn grow, row, row my boat
Floatin' down the Flint river, catch us up a little catfish dinner
Gonna sound like a winner when I lay you down and love you right" Luke Bryan
-My Kind of Night
Probably their kinda night too.
