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...

Journal Entries From Last Year

April 10, 2010...I'm so enthusiastic about being able to enjoy a glass of wine each evening again! I've been so exhausted from the move and my Fibro Myalgia has been causing my pain to be exasperated! The wine has become a blessing for me in so many ways. Just one glass takes the edge off and I've been trying to make it a total experience for my senses. Tonight I opened a bottle of Perfecta which Glo got me at World Market. It's a California wine from Napa Valley ($7.99), Vintage 05 Merlot. The label on the bottle was an art nouveau painting of a woman and Glo said that's what attracted her to it. It was too dry for my taste. Oh well, that's the way the cork pops! Beautiful life :)
