The Wino And I Know

I love me some wine!

We went to a wine tasting last night at the Purple Parrot and Oh My God! It was the most wonderful experience I've had in quite a long time. We got dressed up and went to a big air conditioned tent that was set up in the parking lot and got to experience about 200 wines, one tiny little sip at a time.

The cumulative effect was wonderful. There were some dogs there but for the most part, it was wonderful wine. You went from table to table to listen to the actual winemakers, for the most part, express their sentiments about their own wines.

There was a guy from Italy there and one from Chile - but the big dog was Nils, who is the wine maker at Saddleback in Napa. Wow, nice wine.

And I got to see lots of friends and my lady was absolutely shining. I sit in wonder at times at how marvelous she is. She was dressed up in spring colors and looked absolutely beautiful. And yes, she was the life of the party. She never meets a stranger and always leaves them babbling in their cups when she walks away!

Anyway, it was a marvelous evening and I was blessed to be there.

So raise a glass - as soon as you can - and my prayer for you will be that the person looking back towards you is the one you were meant to be with.

God Bless.
