Have a family meal once a week. We choose Wednesdays. We have 3 families that have been doing this for many years. We have added a couple more along the way. We have others that visit regularly and some that just make it when they can. We welcome all of these folks. 

  It's a time to relax, to enjoy each other. No serious discussions. If you are having a misunderstanding with a family member or a close friend, it is a night to set it aside. Accept each other for who they are. Enjoy them. Hug them. Eat well together. Drink wine together.

Our Wine Down Philosophy

"There is absolutely no substitute for the best. Good food cannot be made of inferior ingredients masked with high flavor. It is true thrift to use the best ingredients available and to waste nothing." - James Beard
