Wino Wednesday: Drinking Helps Kid’s Creativity
This Wino Wednesday post was inspired by sparkling wine. Not one particular type. All bubblys. I love them. Remember this post?
After popping a bottle of bubbly you’re left with sparkling goodness in a bottle and a cork. I opened a bottle recently and left the cork on the kitchen counter. When I returned this is what I found….
Elle is genius. She saw a useless cork and grabbed her craft supplies. Soon she’ll create an entire cork family. Isn’t there an Arts Festival coming up? And clearly this is my cue to keep drinking bubbly. I’m doing it for the kid. You should too.

Wino Wednesday: I Pick Bubbly
If you could only drink one alcoholic beverage for the rest of your life, what would it be?
My pick would be champagne (technically sparkling wine). It’s crisp, refreshing, sparkly and goes with EVERYTHING. By everything, I mean breakfast, lunch, dinner, casual events, fancy gatherings, indoors, outdoors, etc. You get the idea. I’ve even been known to drink it with pizza.
To make this versatile beverage even better, add a few girlfriends on my deck to enjoy a sunny afternoon. This is exactly what I did. First though, I had a very clear message for my friends. I needed their commitment. I had a magnum bottle of bubbly stored in my wine fridge that I was dying to open. This bottle is the equivalent of two regular sized bottles of bubbly. Once you pop it, you can’t stop it. It must be finished. They promised they were committed.
Once the bubbly was poured it didn’t take long for our chatty asses to kick in to high speed. Bubbly makes people happy. It makes us chatty. It enhances my ADD tendencies. We jumped around covering every conversation topic within the first 3 minutes. (I lied…three minutes is an exaggeration.)
Several sips later and the discussion took a dive. Not to a negative place. But to a deep level. An intense discussion. And my bubble popped! We talked about heavy subjects such as failed relationships and love lost. When I say we talked, I really mean I listened. Our conversation turned into more of a whiskey discussion. In fact, I would have imagined listening to country lyrics in a dark bar while smoking with the topics we covered.
Lesson learned: Popping a bottle of bubbly definitely deserves a commitment to finish it. Additionally champagne commitments should only include light, fun conversations.
That lesson probably explains why I would pick bubbly as my beverage of choice if I had to pick only one to enjoy for the rest of my life. I’m most comfortable living my life in a fun, light, chatty way.
What would you pick? Why?
Cheers!
