“It is the wine that leads me on,the wild wine that sets the wisest man to singat the top of his lungs, laugh like a fool – it drives theman to dancing… it even tempts him to blurt out storiesbetter never told.” ― Homer, The Odyssey  Late… Continue Reading “A Grape Odyssey-Maréchal Foch”

I might be traveling through #Arizona right now but I am looking forward to returning home for our upcoming #DrinkInLifeBookClub live discussion this weekend, and I wanted to share some highlights of the past three months since the book club launched in June! (Link In Profile)
“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.”
"The quieter you become, the more you can hear."
“On this day… (September 10th), 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.”
In California, there are 4,000+ wineries and only about 10% of those have a female as the lead winemaker. In celebration of #CaliforniaWineMonth I wanted to highlight one of those women, Kathleen Inman, of Inman Family Wines. Kathleen not only owns Inman Family Wines, she is also the winemaker, vineyard manager, harvester, marketer, ect.. Kathleen tackles every job in her winery. Located in the #RussianRiverValley of Sonoma County the winery produces approx. 4000 cases of #Pinot Noir, #Chardonnay , Pinot Gris, and a Rosé Sparkling per year.
“I’m happy to be reminded that an ordinary day full of nothing but nothingness can make you feel like you’ve won the lottery.”
