Thanks! Glad that this one was on the tougher side. I was initially going to clue 6A, 7A, and 8A all with exercise/workout clues, but I think that would've distracted too much from the 1A/1D "mini" theme. Feel like half of the "cluing" process is just being able to edit yourself
Thanks! I'm starting to realize that half the purpose of crossword puzzles is to get people into wine and cheese. Love me a CAB or ROSE with some BRIE, FETA, or EDAM
