I've always loved the essence of things! Whether it be a conversation, perfume, character, art, food! I adore the unseen makings of things that touch my senses. Just yesterday my dearest friend had an overnight get together. We went wine tasting up the coast in Santa Barbara then went back to her home and she made a midnight dinner! In the morning she prepared whole grain pancakes and eggs with thyme! I'm going to write about this below in more depth but my point is...I can't stop reliving that essence of thyme in those eggs!!! Just as I can 't stop reliving the essence of the spices in the last wine I tasted, or Hawaii or hundreds of other experiences! It facinates me that the experiences I have with wine reaches from centuries back to what exists in the soil today that feeds the grapes to toasting friendships and sharing eggs with thyme!

These are my wine stories...

Back to the Beginning

April 7th, 2010...Glo and Ed came over to our new house for our first little social gathering in the new digs. We ordered pizza and Ed set up our t.v. while Glo and I uncorked a new bottle of wine to try. It's a Cabernet Sauvignon by Alexander & Fitch Winery (Sonoma Valley, Ca. 2005). A house warming gift from Glo since she knows I'm enjoying these new wines!

My kitchen has all the doors open to the patio which is flooded with sunshine and bits of shade. The doggies are running free and loving the fact that we have company! We pour our wine into these charming wine glasses I bought that have etched dots in them and the first sip is......lovely! It's smooth, rich, full and flavorful! My body rests into each sip as I relax and enjoy the moment. Beautiful Life.
