Is wine-drinking an art or a calling? In my case, the latter, decidedly so. After all I have spent more than twenty-two years pursuing it. Although I have taken innumerable wine courses and as a result can explain the difference between claret and burgundy with ease, I would much rather drink wine than study it, or even talk about it. "Ought we to be drunk every night?", asks Charles. It is a question I have answered in the affirmative, like Sebastian, for the last several years. Currently I am sampling the wines from Argentina, having exhausted South Africa and Chile. As I have mentioned previously, my drinking days are nearing an end.
Have you checked out that Wine Library guy that ACL was linking to a few weeks ago? My not be so interesting to one already in the know, but it's an interesting presentation for the novice.
Just checking in after a vacation that left me little time to check in.... funny I used this quote just last night. I hope they don't ruin it in the newer version set to premier this year.
Greatly enjoyed the new photos, too. Southwick makes a beautiful garment. Although I need the shaping that darts impart.
