Two glasses of wine.

Me after two glasses of wine... chatty, honest, courageous.
Other people after two glasses of wine... drunk? emotional? hostile? hilarious?

Some of the best conversations are had over a glass of wine. It is a neutralizer and comforter; a calming device, if you will. Think about it: two friends sitting on the veranda, split by a bottle of Pinot Grigio. They are inclined ever so slightly toward each other, deeply engaged in conversation, each holding a slightly over-filled glass in one hand. With each sip of the luscious white grape, their shoulders relax, the chill of the wine eases slowly through their body, from the crown of their heads to each limb, fingertips to toes. The taste is more than what hits the palette. It is an indescribable experience. As the alcohol begins to set in, the conversation blooms, filling the minds and hearts of each woman. The volume rises as the two echo each other in a chorus of laughter. And at long last, this is bliss. Two friends, a bottle of wine, and a space filled with love.
