Dhonig of 2 Days Per Bottle will be hosting Wine Blogging Wednesday #49. He has chosen a politically-themed topic for September’s tasting: A toast to the end of the Bush Era:
What will you drink to toast the end of the Bush era? Will it be something to honor the 43rd President, or are you just looking forward to 44? Will it be something from Texas, which Bush calls home, or Connecticut, where he was really raised? Maybe a nice French champagne, a bit of a poke in his eye? Or do you prefer Italian prosecco, since they supported the “War on Terror”? Whatever it is, get ready to lift a glass and toast the end of an era that America will never forget.
Originally, everyone was supposed to announce their choices today to coincide with the Republican National Convention. However, due to a bit of confusion we’re postping it for a week or two.
The new date is Wednesday, September 17th. Mark your calendars!
I am sooo loking forward to this.
How about some Chinese wine for when he got drunk at the Olympics? So far, I’ve only found 2 places in the country that sell China Silk wines. But like Winenegress I’m looking forward to this one too.
Wednesday, September 17.
I’m assuming everyone will keep in mind that Shiraz is a city in Iran. Not too far from Iraq.
I’m not seeing my earlier message, so I’ll repeat. Two weeks from yesterday is the date, September 17.
This is GREAT!! We will be there!
Going out of two so I had to schedule the post for Wednesday.
