Do you have a special bottle of wine stored away? Have you been saving it for a long time, waiting for the perfect occasion to open it, but that occasion never seems to arise? Will you actually ever open that bottle? Or will it just sit there, residing in storage, waiting for a time that never comes?
Stop waiting! Grab that special bottle and open it this Saturday, February 22. Transform Saturday into that special occasion.
You might even enjoy your wine more on OTBN than on a different special occasion. Special occasions can pose many distractions so that the taste of the wine may take a back seat to other matters. For example, say you opened that special bottle for a graduation celebration, would it actually be properly appreciated? Or would all the issues about graduation, such as future plans for additional education or a job, take precedence so much less attention was given to the wine? There are certainly special occasions where a wine would enhance the matter, and distractions wouldn't play a significant role, but I suspect those are less common than we might imagine.
So, maybe it's best to celebrate OTBN and make a special wine the centerpiece of your celebration. There are no other distractions. You can concentrate on the taste of the wine, how it makes you feel, the memories it invokes, and more. Share the wine with a small group of family and friends, as wine shared always tastes better than when you drink it on your own.
OTBN shouldn't be restricted to just wine. If you love spirits, then make it a holiday to open a bottle of whiskey, mezcal, or other spirit, that you've been saving for a special occasion. Or maybe you have a special beer you've been saving. Take the opportunity of OTBN to concentrate on a special bottle, whether it's wine, beer or spirits. Stop waiting for the perfect time to open a bottle, and just make Saturday a perfect day.
