Apart from developing a common inclination to ignore most of my requests, my daughters are very different beings. Case in point, we're in the car yesterday and Simone, my generally more compassionate 4 year old, is looking out through the rain and wonders aloud, to no one in particular: I hope Santa's OK in the North Pole today. (Followed my a legitimate sigh). Several moments later, the older and perhaps less empathetic one breaks a long silence: Hey, Dad, when we die, are there still, like, sweets and stuff? Then adding, to no one in particular: There better be.
Turns out they both like the rain though, in their own way, and even seem to get along better when its wet out - a welcome surprise. As my little ones grow, I'm constantly reminded of their singular dispositions. I'm also nudged to consider the ways in which all of us humans are unique weirdos in general. And I write about it a lot, but I'm continually delighted to find that something as simple and absurd and magical and delicious as a bottle of wine can bring such uniquely different sorts of folks together. Maybe for some the connection is a band or a book, or a sports team, or the Simpsons. Maybe for others it's an affinity for fly fishing or for some silly holiday. Perhaps it's the noble quest for a perfect chocolate chip cookie.
Whatever it is for you, and whatever the weather has you feeling this week, we're happy to be on this rainy car ride beside you. We hope to continue to connect in whatever ways we can. Stop in this week and see if our new favorite bottles might be your new favorites too. We've got flights tonight and Saturday and wines by the glass all day, everyday. Special Valentines bubbly BTG Friday too! Roll in... the music will be good, the wines (and tacos:) will be delicious, the vibes warm and welcoming. Maybe even some sweet treats for our Valentines.
