wine makes everything better

Sorry, it's been a crazy semester. but it seems to be winding down well. I've been able to share wine with friends lately and it's really helped make everything less painful.

Some of my closest friends are graduating and leaving in less than a month. On to exciting things in various places, cities and countries. And so, I've made sure to spend time with them all, with my favorite beverage, a nice bottle of wine.

My favorite part about wine is that it's such the perfect drink for dinner/postdinner chatter, you have a glass that you can swirl, a drink to constantly sip and smell for different flavors and aromas plus an all around good time. That's exactly what this weekend was for me.

I got some of my closest friends together, drank a bottle or two, or more and just talked about life. We caught up on recent events in our lives, funny things that had happened and things we were doing that night after we all parted. It's always nice when you can get a group of people together and have pleasant conversation over good wine, I feel like that's what I strive for with many of the bottles I open. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't, but those times that it does, are so worth it.

Only two of those people will actually be graduating, but they'll both be leaving the country to pursue other endeavors and a third will be leaving the country for the coming semester. All in all, it was a nice farewell to some of my favorite people, I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share my last bottle of wine with.
