    Thanksgiving Story

    So the flurry of arrivals was over, and all the food stowed and timed for cooking. My mom seeing that I had an amber drink in a lowball glass winked at me and said "Can I have whatever it is you are having?"

    I said "Sure, Mom!" turned around and took out a glass and poured in some Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider. "We're saving the wine glasses for the dinner table", I said.

    She gave me little frown of disappointment. I guess I'm not her dependable son any more...

    ***

    I had a great Thanksgiving. Overall the family knocked off 3 bottles of Sparking Cider, 2 bottles of Sparkling Pear, one AF wine (Ariel white which isn't that bad), one Calistoga water and one bottle of real wine (which I didn't taste). It all worked out great.

          Great going!

          This was my first Thanksgiving AF in years. We had lots of family over last night... wine flowing, and I just drank cranberry juice and sparkling water in a pretty wine glass and no one said a word!

            well done BossMan. Glad to see your family enjoying a lot of alternative drinks.

            I was the only one drinking Ariel last night but I was fine and happy watching 7 bottles of wine magically disappear before a table of 10. then after dinner drinks... this is my 3rd AF thanksgiving but the first one I felt calm and trule 'at peace' with.
