The Wine Commonsewer: Off to The Cemetery to Dig Up Some Relatives For A Picnic

In Vino Veritas

The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.
We appreciate your patronage.

Off to The Cemetery to Dig Up Some Relatives For A Picnic

Good Morning Gentle Readers,

When I was a vagrant yoot, my buddy, El Jeronimo de Crow, talked about distant relatives in rural Mexico who did actually go to the cemetery Dia de los Muertos, Day of the Dead, and fetch the family bones out of the burial crypts for a celebration and remembrance.

Not being Catholic or Latino, my immediate reaction was: WTH? In all my born days, I'd not heard of any such a thing. The custom seemed a bit ghoulish, yet kind of intriguing, in cool sort of way.

As Always,

TWC
