Fun (and rowdy) as board games can be, the highlight of the day was the wine appreciation session. A white, a red, followed by a dessert. I used to prefer white wine, semi-sweet and perfumed, something delicate and somewhat flat. But today, there was a sudden realisation, in the most meaningful yet profound sort of way.
Pinot noir, full-bodied, complex and intense, almost like a novel with secrets or surprises unfolding chapter by chapter. I thought of a word to describe it and I knew for sure it had to be 'sensual'. And it made me feel really comfortable, with the place, the company, and with myself.
So now, I think I can truly appreciate the film 'Sideways'.
By the way, the release of 'Sideways' resulted in a 16% increase in sales of Pinot noir over in Western US, with a similar trend in British wine outlets (yes, I wiki-ed).
