Will mother move your speakers at Thanksgiving?

Grimace,

She'll just go with the rolling of the eyes.

Horse,

Gruner Veltliner for the white (Hiedler's "Thal" vineyard and Brundelmeir's simple Terrassen will both survive the yams and cranberries -if you're still doing that- about as well as can be hoped for. Try for the 2007). GV should also work with the crab, although for me, crab and champagne or crab and chablis are always my "go to" matches.

Hard to find a red that won't work with prime rib.

Anyone who sets their drink on top of a speaker this year get killed.

Grimace,

Cmon, tell us how you really feel!!! :o)

Wine, Parsifals, food, beer, mother-in-laws, killing, giving thanks, crabs, face like a horse- so American!
Horseface, if I put my face- of -hunger on and sit in front of Echo, will you invite me for food and wine? Music better be good, too!

Grimace- I like the idea of moving the speakers BEFORE she gets there.

Guests will be guests. I try to be a practical and realistic host. Move the speakers back to the wall, hide the turntable if any poorly-behaved kids are going to be around, put some coasters on top of the speakers, have a nip of the single malt. Ask Mom what her favorite music is and then play it for her and see if she wants to dance. If my mother was still around, that's what I'd do. She loved big band music and was a great dancer. YMMV.
