“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.

Because that is what a good, honest wine should offer.” IfsShouldMadeImportantPleasureCommonEnvironmentHonestParticularMetsOffersElementsSummerReflectionMarkWineFruitGlassesMade ItPerceiveAnalysisDisappointedFrustratedAssociatesHintsIndicationUsage Book:A Vineyard in My Glass Source: A Vineyard in My Glass
