I stopped today at a small winery in Chautauqua, Florida. In a tasting room, I sampled the Chardonnay along with a Merlot and a holiday blend. I purchased three bottles, one of each, and tucked them into my suitcase before continuing my journey west on interstate 10.
My plan was to meet up with Studly Doright at a Holiday Inn Express in Crestview, Florida. I love assignations with my husband. The prospect of a pretend illicit meeting with my man is a bit heady, so as I drive I contemplate which bottle to open tonight. The Chardonnay? No, too much of a lightweight. The holiday blend with mulled spices? No, I’ll save that for Christmas Eve. Ah, that left the Merlot. Deep and rich and red.
I can’t divulge the details of our night, but let’s just say, I picked the right wine. Here’s a toast to old married people. We live. We laugh. We love.
Peace, people.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Lovely

Where’s there’s wine, there’s hope. You can quote me on that.

Sadly, ‘hope’ and Reisling are not good bedfellows…so to speak.

You two look so happy! Thanks for giving me a new word, Leslie. I did not know the word “assignation”. It is a good word and bears repeating.
