Rainy Wine-y Wednesday Escape

People say we have only two seasons here in the South – winter and summer. This year I think we found spring. This week the weather struggled to reach the mid 70s. It has rained and rained and rained until we were beaten down and miserable. Where is my unbearably hot summer? The pool was supposed to open this weekend, but no body swims when it’s 70 degrees … and raining! Not us, at least.
Everyone knows that when the weather sours here in the South, good Southern boys pour bourbon. If the boy has been influenced by his wife, he opens a bottle of wine. For this rainy Wednesday Rick chose a nice Domaine Les Aphillanthes Cotes-du-Rhone.
We turned on the patio TV to baseball and let the red wine warm our bellies. It proved a perfect match to Truman’s new fascination to Bacugons. (What amazing creatures they are!) I’ll toast to that!
“Wine, one sip of this will bathe the drooping spirits in delight beyond the bliss of dreams. Be wise and taste.”
