One of these days they are going to make drinking an Olympic sport, and then it will really be special.
Until then, we have our own annual Special Olympics fundraiser to keep us happy.
Everyone brings a wine that is special to them in some way, plus some cash for the privilege of tasting everyone elses' wines. This year the goal was to raise $1,200, and gosh darn, we did, raising $1,250 for this worthy cause.
The best part, even better than the wines, which were great, was listening to people explain why the wine they brought was special to them. This is a great equalizer, as something as sweet and innocent as Leah saying hers was the first good wine she ever drank, to something as complicated as Kevin's story about a Duke and Duchess and Nazi collaborators, all bear the same relevance, and interest.
We had a great time. I'm looking forward to it again next year.
