Wine is the Cure All..............

Happy national wine day!


February 18th is pry my most favorite day of the year. Most people don't know this about me. I mean you have to celebrate your friends. Wine is my friend and today is wine's birthday!

I'm not racist to wine. I love dark and white and pink and all wine. I'm not a wine snob. I don't care if wine comes in a bottle or box or merlot or blush, I love wine! When people ask me if I would like a glass of wine, I say yes please. Well after all I was raised with manners.

In the winter wine gets you through everything. It shows up with the family disfunction, it pairs with your cheese and crackers and candy canes.

In spring it pairs with your mulching your yard and at this point you don't need a mosquito net for your wine glass JUST YET! Summer is coming!!

In summer it pairs with any cup with a flower on the side of it. Do you ever go through stores like Bed bath and beyond or Walmart? All the cups have a flower on the side of them! So I feel like yes wine should be in a wine glass tumbler, or maybe perhaps a mason jar tea jar!

In fall it pairs with firepits and apples and insulated yeti cups. Did you know yeti cups keep wine cold? For that reason alone you should buy a Yeti. Be like my sisters, you powder coat them too! Don't just go half-ways. Own a $70 insulated wine glass/cup.

Well I have covered my entire year. Wine and me have been together for a long time. I want to tell you where we first met. I used to manage a weight loss company. Our Christmas party was a place in Omaha, Ne called Tasting Place. You got to try 3 or more white ones and red ones like wise and also what they paired with food wise. Well I had a few favorites after that. Before that I was a Budlight and Captain Morgan drink girl ONLY.

I went to a liquor store in Grand Island, NE called Liquor Mart and I told the man who said can I help you (even thought I was thinking that was a loaded question) that I had recently attended a wine tasting and I forgot the wines I liked. He says, what kind of beer do you like. I reply bud light. He says, okay then this is the wine you need. It was called Starling Riesling. It was a light colored wine with a castle in the back of the bottle. I decided it was destiny. I will get this. I mean I had all "green lights" That wine ROCKED!!!

I heard there was things called wine tastings.... who would NOT go to those? I certainly thought I should go. I went to one. I still go to them. Who wouldn't?

People ask my favorite wine. I will tell you my least classiest and highest classiest and way over my head classiest wines. Let's start from the bottom. BOXED WINE! More bang for the money. I love Classic Red. I always have 3 on stand by. Wine on a tap, who wouldn't ? I always think of wine in a box is like a adult capri sun Next would be my medium wines. I went to a winery in Florida I love/loved, called Lake ridge Winery & Vineyards they send me coupons online buy a case get one free. Who wouldn't? Their wine is AMAZING!! They had the best tour and wine I have came across in my super short years of being alive. Okay so for the expensive wine, I'm totally lying, I have drank some pricey wines. I never have had one that is like OMG lad, we need a 1806 bottle from France. If I ever talk like that slap me. Seriously. My favorite high dollar wine would be the Marilyn Monroe Collection from Napa Valley, CA. I have a full bottle with the cork in. If I could have a collection. This would be it! I have a empty bottle too and a cork. The cork has lip prints. Adorbs!

I think wine full fills another part of my life. When I say wine is the answer to everything, it is. You could, wish your coffee cup was full of wine, tilt your cup to the side. (I don't know where that coffee went) You refill with Merlot. (why not-it's a fruit, it's breakfast- so is coffee, it is the same thing). All of a sudden your like I can fight the HULK  and talk anyone into buying what I'm selling. If your having a bad day, you fill your glass up with wine and say in a positive manner " My glass is more than full" It's a great day. The day goes on. Someone asked you your favorite color, you reply "merlot" they look at you sideways like a chicken on a 4-H day.

Happy Wine day! I think next year being a Friday it shall be more than fabulous............Can you imagine?

Love you!
