Should We Whine About It…Or Wine About It?

Ok, so these stay-at-home, social distancing, quarantine restrictions have us all a little bit on edge. We are feeling out of sorts, out of normal rhythm, and sometimes simply out of our minds! We have two choices during this unsettling time – we can WHINE about it, or we can WINE about it! I’m not trying to make light of this serious pandemic we are fighting, but sometimes we need a little levity to make it through to the other side with our sanity intact.

Grabbing a cocktail and apps with your babe on a Saturday night is no longer an option and you can delete that calendar alert to grab a bottle of wine on your way home from work for happy hour on the beach with friends. But don’t cancel rosé season just yet!! 

A few weekends ago, we hopped in the car and headed east until we found the remedy to our misery. It was covered in pink with splashes of floral – Wölffer Estate Wine Stand in Sagaponack, New York was OPEN and ready for drive-thru business! As we pulled our car around to the back of the line, we could see that the Wölffer employees were taking the protective health guidelines seriously, donning masks and gloves as they approached our passenger-side window to take our order. Once we placed our order, we pulled up to the cutest display of Wölffer favorites arranged on an adorable cart topped with a pink and white striped awning. We paid via ApplePay, popped the trunk, waited for the goods, and then were on our way. Totally contactless and totally couldn’t wait to pop open a grüner cider! 

We made a quick stop at Cooper’s Beach in Southampton, New York; a public beach that served as the perfect sandy setting to let the kids stretch their legs, search for shells, and toast our glasses to surviving another day in quarantine!
