My mother has too much anxiety until about two glasses of wine, so our goal is to get those two glasses into her as fast as possible. I usually bring enough wine for a bottle with every dinner we are cooking and a few extras, which is pretty close to a case per week for seven people.
When I go visit my mom, love her to death, but she always bring up politics. My rule is two-three bottles per day while there!!
Every summer we went to my wife’s family reunion, which was dry…very dry.
(stoic religious farmer types)
Last summer the reunion was held at a beach and some of the older participants have passed…
(but not to the big tasting room in the sky).
So, we brought a big jug of Sangria, which was much appreciated.
My parents and in-laws would always come to our house. Needless to say the wine would flow freely all day and night along with some rum and/or scotch for my dad. All three of our living parents and in-laws have passed over the last 11 months. Great memories. Enjoy them while you can…….
Why did I think this was going to be a thread about how much wine you drink before visiting your parents or in-laws?
I definitely opened the door for that!
