Wine and cheese...or just the cheese

Erik and I like to enjoy a glass of wine together every now and then. Now that I'm pregnant, Erik likes to enjoy a glass of wine, and I enjoy my glass of water :) It was our first Sunday in Memphis, and both of our families had left that morning, so it was our first evening together in our house alone. Erik wanted to pick up a bottle of wine that evening, and I thought it was a good idea...it was our first evening with nothing to do, and so doing anything sounded great! 


When we first moved here, we found out right away that they only sell beer at the grocery stores. My mom and Erik were picking up some food and looked for a bottle of wine, and the lady at the store said, "You must be from the North. We only sell beer in the grocery stores." So we knew that we had to find a store devoted to wine or liquor. We had driven by a nice looking wine store really close by our house so our hunt for wine started with that store. It was already dark out and we had trouble finding it so we ended up going to a liquor store. We went in, and they didn't have any wine. We asked the guy where we would be able to find a bottle of wine. He told us, "I don't know where you could find wine on a Sunday. Maybe if you drove to Mississippi, you could get some there." 


Mississippi is about a 20 minute drive. I had wanted to go to Wal-Mart earlier that day to pick up some things, but the closest Wal-mart is 15-20 minutes away. We decided that since we had other things to pick up, we might as well continue our hunt for wine in Mississippi at their Wal-mart :)


They do sell wine at Wal-Mart in Mississippi! So we grabbed our wine and our other items and we were checking out. The wine was the last to be scanned, and the scanner said, "Cannot be sold on Sundays". So our search was over. Now we know, stock up your wine if you want it on a Sunday in the South :)


Side note: If you break your Wine opener, don't go to a Wine store because they cannot sell anything but wine, and good luck finding one at a Grocery store because why would they sell them if they can't sell wine??
