Reason to Drink - Mad Men Return Date Announced

The office was abuzz with debate. There was news, but was it a good reason to drink? We voted. The girls won. Jon Hamm let slip the date Mad Men will return to the air for their 5th season. Apparently, March 25th will also be a good day to open a bottle, so this one's a two-fer.

In honor of this news, we'd like to recommend you consider "one of those nice French wines" to celebrate the good news. You might like a Cote du Rhone. Friendly, inexpensive and cheerfully pairs with a wide variety of food.

Some of the guys sided with the girls, but we're not going to argue. Everyone knows it's nice to have a good reason to drink.
