Jesus sat at the table with his twelve apostles, to share one last meal before going to the cross. As they dined together, he told the apostles that one of them would betray him that night.
One by one they questioned, "I'm not the one, am I, Lord?" Jesus explained that even though he knew he would die, as the Scriptures foretold, his betrayer's fate would be equally as terrible.
On that happy note, Jesus took the bread and the wine and asked his Father to bless it. He broke the bread into pieces, giving it to his disciples and said, "This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
And then he took the wine, sharing it with his disciples and said, "This wine is the token of God's new covenant to save you, an agreement sealed with the blood I will pour out for you. He told all of them, "This is a bloody good Pinot, and I got it on special, for only $17.99! You should grab a case of it before it jumps back up to $19.99."
Of course Jesus was referring to the 2006 Bay of Apostles Pinot Noir from the Coonawarra (from Koonara Wines). This perfect pinot (in my – and Jesus’ - opinion) is one of the tastiest, best value Pinots you can get your hands on at the moment. Pour yourself a glass (make sure you use a big, open pinot glass) and let it sit for half an hour (Think: Self Discipline /Delayed Gratification) then swirl, sniff, sip, swallow and savour the plum and cherry fruit flavours.
For such a fabulous Pinot, this is very affordable and it would be a betrayal, not to try a drop. I managed to find it at $17.99 at my local Cellarbrations store but I think it may have gone back up to $19.99 this week. However, just like Jesus, I’m not satisfied with just one Apostle. Think I’ll be requiring twelve...and will pray for a discount.
As for Jesus, he said to his Apostles "I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it with you in my Father's Kingdom." Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives...which wasn’t a good choice because olives don’t go with Pinot. They’d have been better off going duck shooting or having a Jamie Oliver chicken pie bake off. You just can’t treat a good pinot like that and, whoever made the suggestion, was obviously the real betrayer of Jesus!
