So I picked up a bottle of elderberry wine Saturday at local big chain liquor store. Hearing all the wonders of elderberry and flu I say what the heck??? I’ll try it. Whats to loose! 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

So only bottle they had on shelf was local "east Texas" winery. Like Rusk county Texas is known formtheir wine production right? So old son and his family are over when I open bottle.

Hmmmmm????

He pours a glass and takes a whiff. Says. Wow! All the essence of Natchitoches Parish La! I take a sip and well,,,, now that’s different. (Slight hint of diesel). DIL well she gives me a look like "I gotta drink the rest of this???" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wifey and I drank ours. Actually felt pretty good next morning. Was thinking of going back to the guy who helped me at store (he looked like a chap with a very good sense of humor), and flat out asking him ," excuse me but do you remember helping me Saturday evening with the elderberry wine??? I’ve never experienced it before but is it suppose to taste like schidt????"


Oh well will "enjoy" another glass this evening and fight off the flu!!
