Sometimes, you just need to keep going. Keep your head down, be introverted as all hell, do what is necessary, and hope that your magic carpet will appear very soon. My carpet has just arrived; but stuff happened, and stuff was real. What about that - the in between? What happens to you when you [...]
Can you direct me into what I should desire right now - because I'm confused. This goes for life and wine. In my mind, I have organized a check list of qualities, attributes, "what am I getting back" (let's be honest, if I'm not winning then why be in it), back door escapes from bad [...]
"Too bad you never grew a pair" "I'm tired of hearing how you are the victim" "Go ahead and blog about this" (rolling eyes) Yes, we all get judged. We also do the judging. Am I a victim or am I the one laying out the bullshit? That line is blurred, and that line has [...]
Current Mood: I wake up to uncertainty, confusion, my heart a little in the wrong place, vacancy of comfort, hungry as hell, and making the biggest attempt to go into the hustle of the wine world without tears streaming down my face. Some self help homies would tell me that this is where I should [...]
At this moment, I feel as if I've stayed in the bath tub too long; pruned up, drunk on steam, and trying to balance on jelly legs. This is what happens when you try to do and be everything; and what American isn't guilty of just that. Why can't we breathe through our day rather [...]
Reflection isn't important - it is the soul essence of who I was, am, and will be. It is helping my heart vibrate and live again. Yes, live again. When I think of myself in the last four months, I imagine a cartoon character; grey in color, a "South Park" body with limbs that don't [...]
Hate is a hideous and an unforgiving word. You can't come back from that. But food and wine - you let me down. I bet on you. Not only that, I studied you for years, screamed your name, stayed up nights crying over you, over indulged in your glory, lost relationships because of your conniving [...]
The whole "Time goes by so quickly" line is a dirty lie. It's up to you to stop time. It's up to you to NOT say "I'm good - just busy" - because you are not. I stole this idea from an article I read this morning. I am repeating it because the idea is [...]
EVERYTHING about 2018 either inspired me to tears or went down the toilet. The biggest disappointment will not be reviewed immediately. (professionally speaking; the personal one is way behind me now) More anger, resentment, letting go, and reflection is needed. Your girl is on track, in emotionally recovery, and sees the light - may it [...]
One of the biggest questions that I get asked, as a wine professional, is my opinion on the wines that have secured their feet in the sand as "wine fan" favorites. I am here to admit that I do not regularly drink Sassicaia, Tignanello, Penfolds Grange (that may be a lie), Caymus - you get [...]
