Khoury's
Wine of the Month
So, check this out…this month, millions of
people will in some way or another, take in
the Olympic Games. A nearly 3000-year-old
tradition that began by honoring Zeus. It is
said that the main event wasn’t a sporting
event at all, but rather a sacrifice of oxen AND
can you believe that women were not allowed
to compete? Well, that’s not completely true.
Every four years at a place called Olympia,
unmarried women could compete in their
own set of games. I guess even back then the
world was intimidated by the sheer intuition
and insight of the married woman. It is surely
a sort of magic bestowed upon the woman
when she is tasked with balancing husband,
children, dog and grocery shopping ;)
Now consider this…while millions of
“couchletes” are critiquing the North Korean
Bobsled team or my personal favorite…
“I could totally do that curling thing”,
somewhere warm and pulsing (dramatic
pause…) A Tango Championship is about to
begin!
That’s right, Tango! One man, one woman
and one rhythm. Gracefully moving across
the wide spans of the dance floor telling a
story of romance, desire and passion using
just their tangled bodies…AND it’s a good
cardio workout! A tradition that most certainly
welcomes women of all sorts, this dance finds
its’ roots in Argentina but is now practiced all
around the world.
I am not saying that The Tango is more exciting
than figure skating but imagine yourself trying
each of these activities with your significant
other and tell me which works out better!
So, this month, while you make dinner and
listen to the daily recap of Gold, Silver and
Bronze medals earned, try grabbing your love
and spinning ‘round the kitchen floor. Toss
in a nice bottle of Argentina Cabernet and
consider yourself an athlete…Abrazo Baby!!!
