It´s time that I say goodbye - for good. I´m seeing someone else now; his name is Dignity. We´ve had some great times, shared some long laughs, and no one else could have gotten me through my oral comprehensive exams in writing/communications the way that you did. I know someone else will love you as much as I once did, and I can only thank you for making me into the person that I am. You taught me how to dance, you made me a lot funnier than I really am, and you´ve made numerous people much more attractive than they really are. Of course no other wine will ever taste as good out of an empty Diet Coke can, but alas, it´s time for me to move on. Don´t take it personally - it´s not you, it´s me. It´s time I raise my standards and drink something with an expiration date. Good luck my friend, I know you´ll make the next person as happy as you once made me.
Love always,
Lee
What I learned from a weekend in Mendoza...
Lesson 1: When one drinks, one should eat. And what you drink depends on what you eat, or vice versa.
Empanadas and Malbec at Filósofos Bodega
Lesson 2: Wine comes from a bottle; grape juice comes from a box.
My happy place
Lesson 3: Wine glasses and Diet Coke cans serve two distinct purposes, and the two shouldn´t be confused.
Cabernet Sauvignon at the Weinert Bodega
Lesson 4: Wine only ages well when stored appropriately. This does not include being stored in a box on a refrigerator shelf, nor being stored in a bottle in the back of my closet.
In short, everything I learned in college about wine was wrong, other than the fact that it´s purpose is for drinking.
