WINKLER, MB
Inspired by the Prime Minister’s new cabinet, Mrs. Elsie Froese of Winkler decided to shift everything around a little bit in her own cabinet so the Wiebes wouldn’t spot her bottle of 2019 Stag’s Leap Cabarnet Sauvignon.
“I only use it for cooking, but it’s still a little embarrassing,” said Mrs. Froese. “Better shuffle it over to the back in case Mrs. Wiebe wants to help me clean up the dishes.”
Mrs. Froese piled her cabinet high with plastic bowls and Tupperware containers all in an effort to conceal the wine bottle.
“But if Mrs. Wiebe spins my lazy Susan, she’s really in for a surprise,” said Mrs. Froese. “Let’s just hope she doesn’t get too nosy.”
Unlike many of her friends at Central Winkler Mennonite, Mrs. Froese is not actually concerned about being spotted with alcohol. Instead, she had other concerns on her mind.
“I drink a glass of wine every now and again. I’m not ashamed of that,” said Mrs. Froese. “But a wine from Napa Valley during a trade war? Oba, nay!”
