The boys are edging me out in posts recently. Somebody pass the damn wine. Anybody. Any wine!
This post is for the ladies. Especially the ladies in my life who helped me maintain sanity through my most recent maternity leave, whether they realized it or not. It's almost been exactly a year now since one of my super cool neighbors asked me to join a Bunco group she was starting up. Fast forward ten months and I can actually say that I've managed to socialize outside of my family at least once a month for the past ten months. That's pretty damn good I'd say, considering I have three children now, with the two youngest being under the age of two. Ten glorious evenings away from the happy chaos that I have loved and normally couldn't stand to be away from the rest of the year. This particular group of friends understand the importance of having the occasional ladies' night. It makes us better wives and better moms. Hah I can't even think that thought with a straight face. Our monthly gatherings just make us better wine drinkers!
1492 was the red wine served at our first Bunco night. Smooth, rich, heavy on the grape juice taste. Perfect with pigs in blankets, chips and queso, and brownie bites. Perfect for the next neighborhood gathering.
A million thank you's to my Bunco crew. The meals, smiles, and support you brought me through those first few weeks after the birth of my LAST child were a lifesaver. My family and I appreciate all of you!
Happy New Year, Wine For The Cheap readers. Looking forward to consuming a hell of a lot more wine this year!
9 out of 10.
Wine Styles, $10.99 when it's on sale! Ok so I cheated with the cost of this wine. But actually it was free to me when I drank it for the first time, so technically it meets our criteria. Cheers!
