Announcing Wine Blogging Wednesday #64!

Lenn Thompson of LENNDEVOURS recently put out the call for a WBW host, and coincidentally an idea I was working on for Twisted Oak seemed to fit perfectly as a WBW theme.

This month's theme naturally involves the holidays, but as you might expect there is a little twist to it! This time, it's all about the other holidays:

Pick any winter holiday or observance EXCEPT Hanukkah, Christmas Day, Kwanzaa, or New Years Day or Eve, and choose a wine to celebrate it! For purposes of this WBW, the holiday date chosen must be between December 7, 2009 and January 7, 2010. You may also pair a food with your chosen holiday and wine, but that is optional.

You can pick a special observance that already has meaning to you, or with a little AbleGraping (or Googling or Binging) you should be able to discover some other fun winter holidays to celebrate!

The date? Wine Blogging Wednesday #64 is on December 23rd, 2009 - so please send me a link to your blog post by then. Have fun! - El Jefe

Full disclosure: Yes, I am running some Twisted holiday specials that are similar to this theme. If you want to see them you can look here - but the point of this WBW is to come up with your own holiday pairings, and to have fun!

Can you get any more twisted than a Winter Solstice Santacon? I think not! We're hosting a second Santacon this month--a brunch Sunday Dec. 20 if you're in the neighborhood followed by a bike ride & pub crawl. As the first Santacon was more about a keg of Anacapa porter, I am excited to think about what might be the best wine to serve Santa, Ms Claus, reindeers & elves along with brunch!

Now to go see if Santacon is already one of your twisted holidays/specials! Thanks for hosting!
