National Wine Day
As a Mommy when I hear the word wine I equally think of the awesome libation consumed from stemmed glassware and whine…the high-pitched noises that are voiced daily by my “littles.”
So in honor of National Wine Day, I am providing the best Whine/Wine pairing guide.
The “Mommy I am bored whine” – this is a fairly common place whine heard daily by parents around the world and is best paired with the also common place White Zinfandel. The White Zin won’t make the whine go away, but it will dull the high-pitch notes.
The “Mommy he is looking at me funny whine” – this equally comical and irritating whine is also unfortunately common place but is often utilized at particularly inopportune moments such as waiting in line at Target, or anywhere where unsympathetic, non-parent bystanders are gazing with “judgy” eyes. This is best paired with the smooth and calming notes of a Chardonnay. It should help the original whine turn to more of a white noise.
The “Mommy I missed my nap and I am turning into a monster whine” – ok now this whine needs to be taken very seriously and needs a robust partner. It is best paired with the intense red Malbec. Warning, if too much of this wine is consumed, you likely will not be able to cope well with the original whine…but you admittedly will care less overall about the situation.
The “Mommy it’s almost time for bed and these jammies have a tag whine” – while this whine is a very frustrating version, it is also my favorite because this whine means the end is near. This whine means bedtime is upon us and I will soon be basking in the beautiful window of opportunity to watch a little trashy reality television and drink a glass of wine in leisure. This is why it is paired with my favorite wine… a Moscato D’asti, a sweet wine with bubbles…it is the perfect end to National Whine Day… oh I mean National Wine Day.
