Over the years, we found ourselves going from college-age gals drinking Boones Farm to women with jobs splurging on labels we thought were oh-so-classy, such as Kendall Jackson. Swiftly, our knowledge grew even more and we matured into women who attended dinner parties instead of just clubs – or even better: wine bars. Napa quickly surpassed spring break in Cancun, and before we knew it…we were settling down…having babies and raising a family. Dinner parties and wine tastings? Whaaa? We were lucky if we had time to shower. Wine who? But, as we often do as mothers – we persevered. As the kids grew, we found, and even required, more time for ourselves. Becoming a mom didn’t mean we had to give up everything we knew; it just meant we had to get more creative after a day of “mommy this” and someone constantly pulling on our leg or needing our attention. Rather than attending lavish events where wine was served and we had no bedtime; we grabbed a bottle of red or white depending on the mood or stresses of the day. Some days required a nice, sweet white for celebration – say after naptimes proved successful for the third day in a row. Or, the days that definitely warranted a smooth, bolder red (#epicfail)—accompanied by a cozy blanket and Netflix. Whether it’s to celebrate or to unwind; wine certainly has not lost its purpose in our lives.
