And another Greek wedding

Did you know wine is sunlight held together by water Antoinette?

Let's get philosophical for a moment. Of course philosophy comes from the Greek... Philo meaning love of... and Sophy... meaning the raven haired beauty down at the Agora. But one of its lesser known definitions is love of knowledge. And nothing pairs better with philosophy than wine because as I've said before, "in wine there is truth"! So let me drop some knowledge on you. 159 years ago this week, a tall drink of water named Abe warned Americans that, "a house divided against itself cannot stand." While I don't think we need to worry about a bloody civil war (too many screechers, not fighters... and plenty of safe spaces either way), the lack of civility and division in this country is disturbing. But not to worry. I have the solution. Oenophilia! Don't worry, it's legal (except you junior). Its the love of wine. Something all Americans can agree on. Red states and blue states. Liars and deniers. Donkeys and elephants. Pat's fans and everybody else. Remember, what makes America Great are Americans, not one party over another. So leave partisanship to the playing fields, uncork a bottle of your favorite wine and share it with somebody you know who's across the proverbial aisle. What better way to celebrate Flag Day, than waving that star studded red, white and blue sheet, while getting three sheets to the wind on a few bottles of your favorite grape with your neighbors. Leave the enmity to those non wine drinking terrorists, and uncork some amity so we can MAGAF (Make America Great...ask a teenager if you don't know the rest 😉). Let's undo this political divorce, and remarry ourselves to the Philo Of Sophy, wine and 'Merica. Say I do! You are now allowed to show your pleasure. You're welcome! Remember boys and girls wine pairs well with everything and makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilized. Bring back civility, bring more wine, and make everyday a flag waving, wine drinking occasion. Wine conquers evil, and if you aren't sure how to beat the devil...sit down in that chair right there, And let me show you how it's done! Fire on the Mountain, run, boys, run, The Devil´s in the house of the rising sun...The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat..."Devil, just come on back If you ever want to try again, [We] done told you once, you son of a bitch, [America's] the best there´s ever been"
