Good morning Antoinette,
While the candidates hurl insults at each other and Americans are left debating how we got here. There's no doubt what the answer to the question, "are you better off now...?" is, but "read my lips"...wine is the answer! A quick look back at this week in history shows us wine is the perfect drink to cheer our victories and drown our sorrows. So hop in your Model T ford (1908) and head off with your best girl/guy to Yosemite National Park(1890) for a picnic and bottle of shiraz. (Throw in a blanket, the seats don't recline, 😉). If you took the long way to get there and it's post 1919 then you'll have to throw some of grandma's homemade blackberry wine into the boot of the car to be safe from the G-men and if you're near Chicago, Al Capone. Or you could always soup up the engine to outrun them, swing by NY to see Babe Ruth's 60th homer(1927), then head to the beach at Daytona, win some money racing and take your winnings to the first Brew Thru and celebrate the end of prohibition and that deplorable activity we call Nascar with champagne. Of course prohibition and bootlegging also gave the Kennedys their fortune, America JFK, and the first ever presidential debate (1960) where tricky Dick Nixon found out the hard way it's much better to look good and have a beautiful wife than a dog named Checkers.(mixed portent) But the important thing to remember is whoever your candidate is, or isn't, the debates provide 90 minutes for the ultimate wine drinking game. So select your favorite Case of wine, draw straws, everyone but the shortest straw takes a drink if either candidate lies or insults the other...the shortest straw drinks when they don't! You're the designated driver! Sorry
TTFN
