Good Evening!
Wayne and I would like to thank Matt Leader for doing the wine tasting last Saturday.
This Saturday is Armed Forces Day which was established by President Harry S. Truman as a single holiday for citizens to thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country. It was first observed on May 20, 1950 with parades, open houses, receptions and air shows.
This Saturday, Grapes of Taste will be offering a 10% discount to any member or veteran of the military. If you know anyone who is in or has served in the military, I hope you will take a minute to stop and thank them for their service. We would not have the freedoms that we have if it were not for them.
Wine Trivia ~ Ways to Enhance Your Wine-Drinking Experience
- Let your wine breathe if it needs too. Ten minutes often goes a long way.
- Use crystal wine glasses to add a little to the wine and a lot to the ambiance.
- Eat a little food so you don’t get “buzzed” prematurely.
- A glass of water helps quench your thirst so you can enjoy the wine a little longer.
- Swish the wine in your mouth long enough to really taste and enjoy it.
- Drink your wine with good and appropriate foods.
- And finally, drink your wine with good and appropriate friends.
