The sunshine is waning on our little Belmont corner. I horridly mentioned to a friend that I'd readily welcome the dreary rain of January, if only it meant there could be moments to catch my breath. It's bottling time at the winery as the busy harvest season approaches, and there's less and less room for contemplation and leisure. So what do drink? Liquor? Occasionally; we're not trying to drown our sorrows yet... Beer? Sure, a little Budweiser or delicious draught IPA to quench the thirst from time to time. But sometimes there can be unexpected moments of quiet serenity, gifted from a little sassy Chardonnay. A fleeting brain relaxant---don't think, just drink. And breath in your last few breaths of inappropriately-busy, over-stimulated, visitor-centric summer.
