“Inevitably I came to associate any wine I met with a specific place and a particular slant of history. I learned to perceive more than could be deduced from an analysis of the physical elements in the glass. For me, an important part of the pleasure of wine is its reflection of the total environment that produced it. If I find in a wine no hint of where it was grown, no mark of the summer when the fruit ripened, and no indication of the usages common among those who made it, I am frustrated and disappointed. Because that is what a good, honest wine should offer.” IfsShouldMadeImportantPleasureCommonEnvironmentHonestParticularMetsOffersElementsSummerReflectionMarkWineFruitGlassesMade ItPerceiveAnalysisDisappointedFrustratedAssociatesHintsIndicationUsage Book:A Vineyard in My Glass Source: A Vineyard in My Glass
“If you look across a host of measures at adoption studies, fraternal v. identical twin studies, twins-raised-apart studies, the history of early childhood intervention research, naturally-occurring experiments, differences between societies, changes over history, and so forth, you tend to come up with nature and nurture as being about equally important: maybe fifty-fifty. The glass is roughly half-full and half-empty.” IfsWorldImportantRealDifferencesHalfStudyChildhoodResearchEmptyRaisedGlassesCome UpExperimentsOutcomesFiftyReal WorldHostAdoptionTwinsNurtureInterventionIdenticalEarly ChildhoodHalf FullHalf EmptyFraternalIdentical Twin Author:Steve Sailer
