📚 Indoor Winter Hobbies

I recently played Wingspan – a peaceful bird gathering card game. Bring your birds to one of three different ecosystems and chain together a variety of abilities to score the most points. I’m oversimplifying it, but I assure you it is a hoot. Ornithologists rejoice, you’ll have 160 different birds to collect. Like most games, snacks are always welcomed. If it’s salty and crunchy, I recommend the Rosa Cusine. Rose gold in the glass, bright mousse-like bubbles, and a bouquet of red berries and nuts are what you’ll find in this sparkling wine. Ideal for humans that resemble hummingbirds.
