Wine OR Wine & Food

 The ideas around the United Nations were developed in the last years of World War II, particularly during the UN Conference on International Organization in San Francisco, the United States, beginning on April 25, 1945. The UN was officially created when a UN charter was ratified on October 24 that year. The foundations for a "League of Nations" were laid in the Treaty of Versailles, which was one of the treaties to formally end World War I. The treaty was signed in Versailles, France, on June 28, 1919.  So United Nations Day was first observed on October 24, 1948. The UN recommended that United Nations Day should be a public holiday in member states since 1971. There were also calls for United Nations Day to be an international public holiday to bring attention to the work, role and achievements of the UN and its family of specialized agencies. So I have a feeling in honor of the day, USA, Germany, France and Austria will be represented but who knows if we will find a wine from Russia, China and the United Kingdom that we can hang our seal of approval on, but we will see!
