Of Wine and Image
Let me warn you upfront – I’m not sure what this post will be about. Will probably end up with a loose collection of thoughts, most likely a bunch of random incoherent nonsense.

As Expected and Full of Surprises
Today, I want to share two recent wine experiences. One, unfortunately, as expected. The second one is unexpectedly surprising. About 10 days ago, I had the opportunity to open a wine from the 2002 vintage to celebrate my youngest daughter’s birthday. I don’t have a lot of 2002 lying around, so I had to decide […]
