Swirl, Sniff, Sip

Much to my surprise, I have recently come to really enjoy wine! I know, I know...I'm behind the time on this finding. While there are many of you out there who have been enjoying this wonderful dink for some time, I on the other hand-am a newbie .

Until now, I have never been one to find much enjoyment in any alcoholic beverage, and I HAVE tried. After some recent tastings/tutorials however, my perspective in this category has shifted thanks to a couple of fantastic vineyards that I believe to be dong a really great thing. Yes, their wine is tantalizing, but their story-even better. For me, that's what does it. I admit, I am a consumer with high expectations (as my husband states, I think everything I purchase should come packaged in a life-enriching experience). Doesn't everyone?

On that note, coming to know the story behind each bottle and the way that the numerous elements of the region along with the enduring practices of the farmers come together to give each wine a specific personality, is impressive to say the least. In fact, a recent tasting of some wines from a great vineyard has really spiked my interest in the offerings of alcoholic beverages. Their story gives them substance and depth and really spikes my desire to indulge-if for nothing else to hear fantastic story of how the present glass came to be.

So now I look forward to the next occasion that lends itself to SWIRL, SNIFF and SIP. I feel blessed to consume the harvest of those who have a love for their craft as well as the land. For me, this purchase is certainly one that comes packed in a life-enriching experience!

This Vineyard is one I was recently impressed by-see for yourself why!


I really enjoyed this Syrah.
