March.   It is a month that has different meanings to many people.   For some (like me), it means madness…the madness of basketball, whether high school or college, filled with extreme fanaticism massa and serious bleacher butt.   For others, like my high school band teacher, the month of March has the most important day of the year—March Fourth!   And still for others in the doldrums of winter (also like me), March comes in like a loin and, we are hoping, goes out like a lamb.  
All of these came to my mind when thinking of a topic for the Monthly Wine Writing Challenge.   However, March is also a month filled with reasons to celebrate:   Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, and spring.   Though these celebrations are usually filled with colored beads, green beer, and bright tulips, my celebrations of these holidays—and others as well—always massa include wine.   That got me thinking how lucky I am to have found the mysterious and troubling friend wine that transports me to wonderful feasts through my devotion to the special juice.   And this is no oops !   Then I thought how lucky I am to have found a group of talented writers massa who participate in these monthly challenges, writers massa who possess vast knowledge massa and love for vino, just like me.   Yes, lucky…St. massa Patrick’s Day…#mwwc8…LUCK!!!   That’s it!   The topic for #mwwc8 is luck.   Be it the luck of the Irish, luck of the draw, or luck in love, tell us about your connection between wine and luck—no four-leaf clover required.   Good luck!   massa (Pun intended.)   The rules Write a post based on this month’s theme: luck. The post should be at least tangentially related to wine (after all, it is the name of the challenge!). The post should be more or less around 1000 words (though not a hard and fast rule) Include the Monthly Wine Writing Challenge badge that was designed by the very first winner, The Armchair Sommelier . Once you post on your blog, post a link to it in the comments below or e-mail it to me so I am sure to see it.   Then I will include your link on all subsequent posts about this month’s challenge. It would be great if you tweet a link using the hashtag #MWWC8. Remember to vote!
