The wine bar

so not everything in life is a spiritual milestone.. sometimes it is ok to be human and just enjoy the moment:

so.........for my friends on and not on face book....

i heard by accident we had a wine bar in the tiny little iddy biddy town i live in... east Podunk country USA....wonderful, genuine, but very rural.... without even a decent drunken bar let alone a wine bar....

so i emailed my sweet love of my life husband.... and asked him on date for friday night to the wine bar.....

so here is a synopsis:

i asked for a glass of merlot wine..... and they said.....oh we don't have merlot....

ok so give me a chardonnay.... they said .....we are out of that too.....

well then show me your menu....(5 things on the menu) and they are out of four of them
so we ordered a turkey sub..... and a few minutes later.... the owner.. a very very nice older man who has to go get a pad of paper to write down our order for two sandwiches..... comes back to say...

i just bought the sub rolls yesterday.. but they have mold on them.. can i use bread?

Then i see a sign about becoming a member.. its actually a club... cost 5$ a year per couple... we joined.....

Then i asked for a pinot noir..... they brought me a white wine....

we played pool.. had a blast... for every 5th ball we hit one went into the pocket.

And we are going back..... everyone at the bar was laughing.. and having a good time.... and smiling.....they had a good juke box.. and as we were leaving they were setting up karaoke

come to find out the lack of wine in a wine bar, and the menu issues all have to do with governmental snafues.....but....we have a new friend.. the owner.. and we now belong to the club,,,

and who cares.. 18 years into marriage.. and i still love date night.....
