End of the day
What is better than the end of the workday? Maybe the end of the workday on a Friday? The end of a workday on a Friday and you are on vacation for a week? Now I am talking, except today is Monday. Yep, Monday, but I still enjoy the end of the day. There is something to be said about the end of the workday, no matter what day of the week it is and being able to come home, relax and wind down with a nice glass of your favorite wine. Completely different than a weekend, just a glass to wipe the bad parts of the day away. Kick up your feet, relax and remind yourself, I work so I can indulge in a nice glass of wine once in while and forget the rat race. Now that’s what I am talking about!!

Wow, can you believe how quick summer is passing us by? It is August already. I know there is still a whole month before September and even then the official start of fall is still a way off, but there is something about August that starts a landslide effect. I remember being a kid and panic setting in that school would be starting before I knew it. The reminders are everywhere in August, the back to school sales, the shorter days and the dates on the calendar moving faster than they did last month. Well, I guess I am glad I am an adult now, not just because I don’t have to go back to school, but because I have a passion and appreciation for wine in my life. I had no idea that wine would be such a fascinating hobby. There is so much to learn, such a vast selection of wine on the market that one could become overwhelmed if they did not establish an appreciation early on and determine what they like in a wine. We know we like plenty of different wines, but deep down we are and always will be Cabernet Sauvignon fans. Not just any Cab, it has to be a bold, yet smooth, silky Cab. Tonight as I sit here typing I know why I have such an appreciation for wine and I know why I am such a Cabernet Sauvignon fan. Two words…..Silver Oak. Need I say more? I think not. A Cabernet such as Silver Oak that has perfected the art of making Cabernet can quite easily turn a bad day into a good day. That is of course an original quote from my husband, but the Silver Oak slogan is “life is a Cabernet.”
Simply stated and 100% true. If you have never tried Silver Oak, I know it may not be in your price range, but pick up a bottle for a special day….you will appreciate it’s quality. I’m off to enjoy mine.. bye for now.
