my idea of heaven. >> the one in florida, there's a tv clicker. remember, it's an ipad. the clicker is an ipad. >> i know it. >> we spent all weekend trying to figure out how to mute it. where is the ipad? you couldn't change the channel. >> finally cassidy did it on her phone! >> she did. she went to her cell phone and pushed the button and suddenly -- >> we got to watch "heat." the movie "heat." >> i love that movie, sandra bullock and melissa mccarthy. please rent it. it's vile and hysterical. >> now you know why we're drinking called trinty oaks. or trinity? >> i think it's trinity. >> if you buy one bottle, they plant a tree. >> here's to a forest. >> 10 million trees so far. that's a lot of wine. all right. speaking of it, what have we got? >> scratch and sniff book. to turn you into a wine expert by richard best.
