Wine Month vs. Bourbon Month
It's going to be a wet September this year. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared it California Wine Month, while the U.S. Senate calls it National Bourbon Heritage Month. The Senate may have been too busy with other matters to notice that specifying bourbon instead of American whiskey fails to recognize Jack Daniel's or even the rye whiskey made by George Washington at Mount Vernon. On the other hand, that's less liquor you'd be obligated to drink out of Californian/American pride. As a compromise between the competing beverage agendas, you may wish to use September to partake in some local wine events (californiawinemonth.com) while making plans for a trip on the American Whiskey Trail (americanwhiskeytrail.com) for a vacation - perhaps around President's Day.
