Wine and Your Election Party

There are many, many, MANY stories out today on planning your election night party. Several of them are filled with fun games, scorecards and things to watch for. This one, which I stumbled across a few minutes ago has a pretty clever election-themed wine tasting oenophiles might want to consider.

"Your party is centered around voting, so do some of it. Try a blind-balloting wine tasting, or poll your guests on whom they voted for and compare the party tally to the nation's outcome. If you've got guests who don't want to disclose their presidential picks, try games focused on presidential history: a round of trivia or charades. "Dealing with the past instead of contemporary issues can take the sting out politics," Ms. Watson-Werst says."

Only in America do folks go to such great lengths to drink in a politically poignant sort of way. Get out and vote!
