Don't drink it alone

I was just informed that my Saturday evening plans include a nice bottle of wine! According to the internet, this coming Saturday is Open That Bottle night. Basically, you're supposed to find that bottle of whatever that you've been stashing for a "special occasion" and make a special occasion out of opening it. Examples I heard on NPR's "air" podcast included an old widower drinking the wine in memory of his deceased wife, a woman who had saved wine for her son's wedding since he was a baby (he was in his 30s and not even dating), and a couple who tried to recreate their first date with pizza and their special bottle of wine.

Cheers, everybody, and here's hoping my story is interesting, too :)!
