The reader sends this from a Southern wedding dinner. I told her I loved the juxtaposition of the jelly jar of sweet tea with the Champagne on ice. Ah, she said, that is sparkling grape juice.

Not a Whiskeypalian wedding, ah reckon. Alas. Still, the fried chicken, the pulled pork, the cornbread sticks — man, that’s good eating! Congratulations to the new husband and wife.
