Good morning Antoinette
This week we pop the cork to celebrate Flag Day, the Magna Carta, the ratification of the Constitution, and the arrival of the Statue of Liberty. Big week for democracy, liberty, equality and wine. The Great Charter guaranteed that absolute monarchs could not arbitrarily take away our wine, the Constitution gave, took, then gave back our permanent right to drink wine which we proudly do on all flag waving occasions...and the Statue of Liberty raises her glass in toast to all newcomers.* So grab a bottle or two of your favorite red, white or champagne blue** and a Magna Salut to our founding fathers, Betsy Ross, our French brothers, and even old King John for giving us more reasons to drink wine and bring order to a messy world. As Churchill said "democracy is the worst form of government...EXCEPT FOR ALL THE OTHERS!" It's a dog eat dog world out there, don't be caught wearing milkbone underwear...drink wine! Wine brings dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl! So bring sanity to the world...drink wine, count your blessings, and always tip!
*the original statue had to be changed from wine goblet to torch to appease those crazy PC types.
**Betsy Ross was known as a metaphorical seamstress...besides the color champagne looks good in a glass but meh on a Battle Flag!
Santé
