I have my weekly post on Wine Sediments today.
Tom Wark at Fermentation had a post on his site on Friday that got my wheels turning. Essentially, his post was a pithy overview on how to get an education in wine. While at once humorous and daunting, at the end of the day learning about wine is a long road—an enjoyable road, but long, indeed.
What if our kids learned about wine (and responsible alcohol consumption) at the same time they were learning other developmental skills—like soccer, for example. If so, would you have the next child prodigy on your hands? Would their knowledge be so advanced to that of their peers who discover wine in their early twenties that they might be able to ascend to the wine inner circle? Certainly your odds would be better in wine then in soccer based on competition alone, right?
My article today on Wine Sediments is more frothy than what I’m describing here. But, please don’t share my secret ... my unborn child is going to be the Tiger Woods of wine ... a verifiable prodigy born to make a difference in the world of wine ... the Yo-Yo Ma of wine ... you can read it here.
