Another reason not to live in Virginia

Sangria is banned in Virginia.

Okay, so it's based on an obscure prohibition-era law that prohibits the mixing beer or wine with spirits, but it shouldn't be too hard to overturn, right? Right?

Here's a quote from the article:

"We're a little nervous of expanding the law," said House Minority Leader Ward L. Armstrong (D-Henry), who served for 16 years on a committee that wrote alcohol laws. "We're a conservative state and a conservative legislature. Some of that's good. Some of it's bad."

(Emphasis mine.)

This is where I burst out into mocking laughter. Bwahahaha!

That's it. Sangria party at my house on Saturday!

Also, yeah, the conservative nature of the state and legislature are getting stomped right now. Go Dems Go!

ooh, excellent! ...except red wine no longer agrees with me. :(
But if you make white sangria, I'm there!
