Wine, Just a Beverage?

Aug 14th, 2009 by Alana

Wine, RB Meyer PhotographyWine, as a beverage, is a luxury. While some may view it as a necessity, a symbol of status, or a statement of personality, it is in no way necessary for survival, nor does it determine the person drinking it or the content of their character. Thus it should be viewed as such. Wine very simply, is fun. It tastes good, goes great with food, can be a topic of conversation, and is relaxing after a hard day’s work with B.B. King in the background. Its praises could be, and have been sung unendingly, but in short, it is a little thing that makes life better.

Quote from Marietta Cellars, family-owned winery since 1978

    Great quote, a few wine snobs should take note!
    A respected label does not guarantee a great wine, have fun and try a new ‘cheap’ wine every now and then, you might be surprised to find a great drop at an equally great price…
