Good morning Mashers… Excessive living comes naturally here in wine country, my kidneys and liver will attest to that. I enjoyed a bottle of MollyDooker Velvet Glove a couple of nights ago with some friends and I must confess, it was piss by morning.
To throw down an expensive bottle should be a ritual that you savor and embellish to your snobbish friends about, but somehow in my mind its about adding Veuve Telegraph to a stew or drinking a Dooker while getting your ass served to you while playing Taboo.
Excess can come in many forms but for 2012 one of my personal goals is to be excessively kind and giving. This is easier to write about then to actually implement in your everyday living. I want to be able to drink any bottle of my choosing regardless of price or style, think Chuck Shaw versus a Grand Cru Latour, both wines serve the purpose of enjoying what is set before you and sharing them with folks who are like minded. Life should be lived, and more then that… to the fullest degree possible. When you go out today have an excess of life to share with others, share a bottle of wine with the next table, raise a pint in your friends honor, or do somersaults in the park with your love.
Thanks Sarah and Sparky for the Velvet Glove it was a great bottle but I am pretty sure it was part of the reason we lost. Cheers
