A Good Wine and a Good Whine
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
We always talk about pairing wines with cheeses, meats, white sauces, chocolates, and even music
, but what about conversations or writing? What about matching a wine with one of those therapeutic rants at the end of a hard day? I just had one of those crazy days that I’ll probably be able to look back upon and laugh about, but right now it’s helping to try and forget it with a nice 2006 Syrah by Duxoup
(pronounced “duck soup”) of the Dry Creek Valley. And…
The juiciness erases getting caught in the rain betweem the dentist office and the coffee shop.
The smoothness dulls the sting of my hard drive kicking the bucket.
The silkiness smooths my ruffled feathers from a roofing debacle (during rainstorm).
The fruitiness sweetens my perspective on a writing project gone sour.
The warm prickle on my tongue leaves a good taste in my mouth.
The slight buzz after a glass gives me a newfound optimism for tomorrow.
Thanks to a two-person winemaking team who pride themselves on small production and gentle, gravity-flow methods, Duxoup has made my beaucoup bad day all better again.

Here’s a nice quote to enjoy a glass of Syrah with too:

Don’t do stuff that is a waste of time
Just do IMPORTANT stuff thats cool
Take the day off whenever you feel like it!
Stay home from the office and play video games if you feel like it (you need your “creative inspiration” after all!)
Don’t work in an office, it sucks! There are meetings and bureaucracy and stuff that SUCKS AND IS DUMB!
Don’t waste time doing STUPID “work” for a “client” or “boss”
Wha? Huh? Money? Wha? You need to what? “Make a living?” You have what? “Rent to pay?” “School loans?” “Groceries to buy so you can eat?” “A family to support?” So what’s the problem? Didn’t you sell your overvalued tech company / web service to some larger tech company / web service some time in the last 5 years? No?
Oh.
Lifeforce OK.
Disregard all my “productivity” tips, then.
