Have you ever kept "something" for a special occasion and wondered what that special occasion might ultimately be? Well, we had a fine bottle of wine and on the bottom of it we placed a red sticker. The red sticker indicated that we paid a little more than normal for the wine or it was a special gift. In this case, the bottle of wine was a Christmas present from Sam's staff.
This bottle of wine has been in our wine rack for about 13 or 14 years. We have been waiting for just the perfect time to open the wine. Over the past year, we have been de-cluttering our home in preparation of selling it and moving on. During this process, we came across many items that we never used because we were saving them for a special occasion. Well guess what? The time has come that we are going to consume and or use these things. What are we waiting for?
We took the bottle of wine, 1994 Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve Merlot, to Ohio and enjoyed it with Jim and Karen. We had a nice toast to our "21 Years of Friendship". We couldn't think of a better way to enjoy it. The wine was good, but perhaps it should have been consumed a few years back.
The moral of this little story is "enjoy now...don't delay"!
