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...

Just a Thought

April 12,2010...A good wine puts your body at rest so your emotions have room to breath and play. One of my favorite quotes is by 19th century poet, William Wordsworth. It reads, "When from our better selves we have to long been parted, how gracious, how benign is solitude". During this highly stressful time I find my solitary glass of wine each evening to be like medicine. It soothes my mind, soul, body and emotions. It's so lovely how it cleans away the cob-webs, brings the racing thoughts to a halt and allows your muscles to melt. I thank God for such a delicacy and blessing! Beautiful life :)
