Number of National Days devoted to wine something-or-other this month alone. There’s National White Wine Day (8/4), National Pinot Noir Day (8/18), National Red Wine Day (8/28), International Cabernet Sauvignon Day (8/29), National Rosé Month and Washington State Wine month.

What’s next in the surrealist National universe? National Corkscrew Day? Maybe National Aerator Day. We think National Expectoration Day has a nice ring.

One Minute On: Drink Now or Later?

“For a long time Sherry was a victim of changing tastes, with fortified wines, like sweet wines, having fallen out of style around the time Churchill was born. The category has come back in vogue lately, partly because of its affinity for complex foods, and also because anything grandmothers approve of inevitably ends up becoming hip again.”

—Adam Leith Gollner, Saveur, February 2018
