In the old stone cellars, a man and his new son-in-law walked, holding small torches. The soon-to-be son-in-law from the city, accustomed to electric lights and espresso, began to wonder if he was being led to something unpleasant by his future father-in-law, a taciturn man of few words. Finally, after what seemed like an hour of walking, they came to a dead end with two lone, dusty bottles sitting in the final corner. Reaching down, the father-in-law handed one to his son and said, “My father gave me one of these on my wedding day many years ago as generations before had, and now there is but one left for your heir. I hope it brings you the joy on your wedding night that it did for me. Welcome to the family.” And after that moment they truly were family, the bond unbreakable.
