Blessed Wine

Not only is wine sweet inebriation, it is the miracle of Jesus as well. The very first miracle - with of course the urging of his sweet virgin mother Mary - Jesus' first miracle was at the wedding in Cana when he turned the water into wine. Not just any wine, but fruit of the vine top-notch wine. The kind of wine that caused the guests to wonder why it was not served first.
So, if Jesus chose this as his first miracle in part with the encouragement of his mother, I think wine must be the official beverage of women. Men can have the beer. Give me chocolate and give me wine the mood created will be divine.
Toast! To a good old vine zin. Toast! To a rich merlot. Toast! To a hearty port. Red red wine. Not just a song, but a melody instilled in the heart of the drinker.
Just remember, like everything else, sip the wine in moderation. To do anything else will dash away all melody and make for a long long wake up call. Trust me on that one. The voice of experience is always the smartest.
Toast! To you and to me and an old glory be!
