Owning a store, there are usually half-empty bottles of wine sitting around on the dining table (which is less a dining table and more a storage facility on which we occasionally eat a meal.) My 2 year-old has learned his colors from the labels on those wine bottles (although there is some justifiable confusion between yellow and orange thanks to Clicquot). He knows I go to the wine store every day. He likes to change the temperature on the wine coolers under the counter. He likes to clink his plastic cup against my glass and say “cheers.” Still, I was a little surprised when we jokingly asked him if he likes wine and he replies, “No, I like Champagne.” Do I hear child services knocking???
