I did something at dinner that would shock Miss Manners.
I had Pinot Grigio with dinner tonight. Instead of walking across the
room to the cabinet, I grabbed the red wine glass that was right in
front of me on the counter. I know, I was wrong, but did it anyway.
Still tasted good.

I always drink red and white from the same glass. They're both liquids
and they have the same destination.

In a pinch, a pickle jar works too.

Nothing elaborate. Some chicken leftover and a salad.
Some years ago,1980s, a shop opened near us that sold Tyrone Crystal. My wife really like it so every month we bought a piece of it. We bought
wine glasses, champagne flutes, as well as a couple of glasses for a whiskey, etc.
Originally, it as "for company" or special occasions, now, I'm sure she would appreciate that I use them every day. Tyrone went out of business
in 2010.

My mother had something similar, I don't know who made it. It was
bought in the 1950's. She had it stored in a sideboard that matches the dining room table. When they were packing to move here back in 1987,
she had packed the "good" china but had not yet packed the crystal stemware. The movers picked up the sideboard without looking to see if
it was empty and smashed broke all the crystal. The moving company paid them a decent sum for it but you can't really replace antique crystal.

Choosing just the right booze is pretty difficult. I don't have that
problem. I'm drinking some cream soda. It was just sitting in the
fridge so I grabbed it.
