I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE MET INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE HELPED SHAPED MY PALETTE TO WHAT IT IS TODAY. THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED AND TO THOSE WHOM I HAVE YET TO MEET IN MY WINE JOURNEY. WINE IS MADE FOR SHARING WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY, ACQUAINTANCES AND EVEN STRANGERS AT A WINE SHOW, WINERY OR WINE SHOP. I FIGURED THAT I'VE TASTED AND TRIED TOO MANY GOOD WINES SINCE 2009 NOT TO SHARE THOSE MOMENTS.
THIS BLOG IS AN AVENUE FOR ME TO SHARE MY WINE JOURNEY WITH EVERYONE WHO WILL GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY TO WHOM I RAISE MY GLASS TO. TO THIS DAY I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS READING ON ALL THINGS WINE AND I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY MORE HOURS TO COME. ITS INTERESTING TO ME TO READ THE COUNTLESS REVIEWS FROM THE NOTABLE WINE CRITICS AND REVIEWERS OUT THERE WHICH OFTEN WILL DETERMINE WHAT I BUY AND TRY. WHILST THIS MAKES SENSE TO ME IT DOESN'T TO MY FRIENDS. I WANT TO SHOW THEM THAT WINE IS A JOURNEY. IN THE END, THEIR PALETTES WILL ULTIMATELY DECIDE IF THEY LIKE IT OR NOT. "NEVER LIE, STEAL, CHEAT, OR DRINK. BUT IF YOU MUST LIE, LIE IN THE ARMS OF THE ONE YOU LOVE. IF YOU MUST STEAL, STEAL AWAY FROM BAD COMPANY. IF YOU MUST CHEAT, CHEAT DEATH. AND IF YOU MUST DRINK, DRINK IN THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY." - HITCH
I RAISE MY GLASS AND TOAST TO YOU ALL.... HAPPY DAYS!
