I really enjoyed this! As you know I have been enjoying your story wine pairings (maybe too much πŸ˜‚) but this makes me appreciate it even more. The idea that wine is more than just a description of flavors and more than words combined can portray is fascinating. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many is a sip of wine?

Haha what a fun question! Hmm how many words can a sip of wine be. I really think thats impossible to say. One sip from one wine could be just about enough inspiration to spit it out before it gets any worse. Another might trigger a whole holiday in your mind.

I'm glad you liked it! Haha I'm sorry for being a bad influence though πŸ˜‹ maybe we need a code word for when I'm being too encouraging.

Well your essay has inspired me to yet again ditch the latter half of my work day and head down to the wine shop so we might need that safe word now 🫒

Hahahaha 🀣 oh gosh. Hmm a good safe word might be. Costa Rica? Because it's so beautiful there that it kinda doesn't even need wine?

Haha! Does that imply that everywhere with wine isn’t beautiful enough to see sober? πŸ˜‚

Regardless, no Costa Rica here today please🫣πŸ₯‚
