WineFUNdamentals

The United States Post Office has issued my dog, a 6 pound 5 oz. HaviPoo  which is a cross between a Havanese and a Toy Poodle ( "cross" is a word in the wine industry that we use for two different varietals of the same species, i.e., vitis vinifera. getting together and producing another grape varietal -- for instance:  Cabernet Franc "hitching" with Sauvignon Blanc and producing Cabernet Sauvignon - so maybe for a dog breed "mix" would be a better word choice) a RED CARD!  How many dogs do you know that have been given red cards?  At least one...MINE!  He now has to sit in the penalty box (his crate) from approximately 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM while the mail lady delivers the mail on our very rural road.  So in honor of my obviously not-so-sweet dog, Skittles, I am not drinking wine today but rather a Manhattan...um..,Manhattans!
