The Good with the...

It has been several hours since my first sip of the 2004 Chateau de la Chaize. As I went back for my third glass of this wine Jessi (my wife) asked why I was still drinking the wine since I really didn't like it. There have been other times when I poured a wine down the drain because it just wasn't fair to my palate. When Jessi asked the question of why I was drinking this wine I realized that I was drinking this wine because drinking a bad wine once in a while helps me appreciate the good ones I come across. It's ironic that hard times really do make the good times good. If you happen to be drinking a less than desirable wine I hope your next bottle causes your to exclaim how wonderful life can be.
