Wine Tasting the Redneck Way

Our Redneck Wine Tasting party last weekend was a blast. We only had a few friends who were able to make it (note to self: don’t plan a party in December), but it was still a lot of fun. And from the RSVPs we received, we should have a houseful for our next party.

Joe and I went out and bought a couple bottles of the fine $2.98 wine from Wal-Mart (and we’ll just say that it definitely *tastes* like $2.98 wine, but that’s the whole point, right?), and I was talking about wine glasses when Joe pointed out it wouldn’t be a redneck party if we used wine glasses.

Gift Guide

So, we picked up some paper cups from the Dollar Tree. Yes, people, when we throw a redneck party, we go all out.

While we were shopping, we found tacky plastic checkered table cloths, which we decided were perfect. We even have an extra one for our next wine tasting event. And, all the horrible platters we received as wedding gifts also got used. For the first time. One was even still wrapped. They did seem to fit the theme quite well, though, and were perfect for the pizza rolls and cookies we served.

I also came up with the perfect use for the clam shell bowl. We still have no idea where that came from. I think Joe’s parents hid it in one of the many boxes they left with us and are at home laughing at how they got rid of it.

We had so much fun that we forgot to take pictures *during* the party. But, we did manage to get one of the two of us before our friends arrived.

The one thing that would have made it truly a redneck affair would have been watching Nascar or a Nascar-themed movie. We opted for The Big Lebowski instead. I can’t get enough of that movie. And, well, the characters are pretty redneck, so it all worked out.

I’m definitely expecting a full house the next time around.

    I find it hilarious you guys got so many serving platters. I wanted some because I love to entertain and ende dup with only one. How can that be? Some of my horrid gifts are still rumbling around in the trunk of my car begging for a mercy donation ot Goodwill.

    And here I thought I had a brainstorm idea last night when I thought of this—we camp at a resort all summer long and have one or two “bashes” per summer, but wanted something different. I did get some ideas from this page and maybe can build from there. Wine was sort of pricey–know of any for $1.00???? Thanks!

    can cause some problems, but there wow power leveling are also advantages. Some groups use a druid as primary healers, but more
    probably wow power leveling use them as secondary healers. Druids also make good DPS attackers. They can also
    be good wow power leveling primary tanks and offtanks. If you want to join a group, you just have to know how to market yourself so that your positive wow power leveling attributes seem to outweigh your negatives.
    You should also mention to the group that druids buffs add thorns as a damage shield. They also add a bonus to all aion power level stats, resistances, and armor. If you are certain to approach the group by mentioning these extra
    buffs, a aion powerleveling lot of them will be willing to accept you. After all, you can’t have too many.
    Items and Equipment for WoW buy wow gold Druids
    Druids are allowed to wear cloth and leather. They can use all of the maces, daggers, fist weapons, and staves. Many druids prefer the staves because they add bonuses to their caster attributes. The bonuses that come aion kinah with other weapons are typically more appropriate for other forms. If you are in
    animal aion power level form, you can’t use a proc weapon so you shouldn’t even weaste your time and money getting

    We are having a family reunion and we are going to start off with a redneck wine tasting. This will be a hoot for all the city folk in my family. Thanks for the idea. In fact I’m purchasing red neck wine glasses for the ladies to have as a party favor. Thanks for the great and fun idea

We’ve had some amazing times, some not so great ones, and we really put the “in sickness and in health” part of our vows to the test this last year. This man is always willing to get my pain pills in the middle of the night, has helped me through Covid recovery and does everything I can’t without complaint. He’s also the funniest person I know and can always make me laugh, and he’s pretty hot, too. I am a lucky woman to call him my husband. Here’s to many more years of happily ever after. I love you! ❤️❤️
