I went to my a mixer tonight. What is a mixer you ask? My wife asked the same thing. I would describe a mixer as a typical American social or wine/cocktail party. We as northern Americans frequently say we are going to a party when indeed we are going to a cocktail party or a social. I have brought my wife to many so called american parties and when we get there, there are bunch people standing around drinking wine and talking politics or about what ever is pop-culture for that week. My wife always smiles and I know what she is thinking because she has told me here thoughts on American parties before. She smerks and says "americans don't have parties, they have sit-arounds." She says "a party has music and dancing not a bunch of drinking, eating and talking." She is right, we have mixers, mixers is the correct term for northern american parties. I like both mixers and the type of parties my wife's culture indulges in. If you dont already know my wife Janneth is from Ecuador which is of course in south America, so they too are Americans which is why I specified our parties as north American parties.
The mixer was fun, it was put on by the Sebastiani family. There children go to school with my son. It was very sweet of them, they put this on for all the parents to have a venue to get to know each other. If you don't know the Sebastiani name google it and you see they are quite significant historically to Sonoma and the wine world. So in honor of the Sebastiani family we introduce the Secret Sale Item. This item comes from a country that is well known for its crazy parties. It also just got picked for the 2016 Olympics. What country is it? Brazil! Today the Secret Sale Item is our Brazilian line of gold Jewelery. So from the minute this blog post until 6pm Saturday this entire line of earring, and necklaces are 50% off. This makes it a great day to think about going GOLD! Find what you want on our website or just come on in the store. We would love to hear your perspective on what you believe defines a party.
