I will be holed up and absolutely NOT watching whatever it is that is going to unfold. I haven’t had more than 2 Manhattans in a night in a LONG time. I can see it being, well, more than that. Even not knowing. Think I might YouTube Game 6 of the 1975 World Series and watch that instead.
Every election I open up something good beginning at 8pm in anticipatory celebration of success for whomever the winner may be.
At the moment I think I will open a 2001 Morgenster Estate Cabernet. I’ve been greatly enjoying South African wines of late and testing their age-worthiness should make for a fun evening.
My personal politics are very partisan but my enjoyment of wine is not.
I don’t wait in the evening on opening that “special” bottle because regardless of the results I want to enjoy the moment and a great wine makes me care a lot less about the trivial whims of electoral politics.
I hope everyone’s bottle drinks magnificently on election night and whomever wins leads to a more prosperous thereafter.
