6/29/19 Second to last day in June. Will be in Sebastopol, today. Alert on my phone saying I had to be here AT 8, but incorrect. Not sure how that happened, maybe I put something on calendar as all-day event. Anyway, two wines tasted last night. What is an all-day effort is to write aboutContinue reading “wine page”

from a journal
5/11/19 Early in office. I can tell people, some, don’t want to be here on their Saturday. Thought walking down the dark hall to get coffee that I wouldn’t, couldn’t, have it another way. Coffee and blueberry bagel, I picked up from spot just down block. Thought they were CLOSING closing, for good. Guess not,Continue reading “from a journal”
Day 11 –
Sat down in break room/arcade/snack shop, immediately started writing. Told self I’d grade papers on break, but not after the busy morning I’ve had. I very much deserve this meditation, this collection in words, with my paragraphs paired with leftover pizza and sparkling water wife me bought at Costco, yesterday? No. Saturday. Anyway, I thinkContinue reading “Day 11 – “
Hermetic Glass
Later in day, I’m more into my new reality, less than 365 days till 40. This is a joke, right?

Today in the tasting room, taking shipping to base across the street thenContinue reading “Hermetic Glass”
meditation
The day has a voice, I suppose. But mine’s louder, more rhymes and with more wander and beaming momentum, notice. So, I give it notice, put it on notice, that I’m not interested in what it intends. I decide the rhythm and the song to be played, what I recite and the pace of such. Continue reading “meditation”
On lunch break, in kitchen, thinking of what wine to open later.
Not sipping during day. Anticipating what wine… what wine to taste, the wine’s philosophy and language scoping my immediacy, me right here in the kitchen writing about wine, while not tasting it at all today. Not sipping with guests, making the writer more focused, more observant, more creatively defiant in the tasting room— noting everythingContinue reading “On lunch break, in kitchen, thinking of what wine to open later. “
A little white wine
on the wine train…
a thousand wines project
19 Forever with Pinot in a slow poem throw. This bottle, no aside. Altogether continuous and contiguous with my chase of Burgundy… light but not passive, and formidable, in no way invasive or overstepping. This character shows and tells what Santa Lucia Highlands holds and is bold enough to play for us. Each sip aContinue reading “a thousand wines project”
In the tasting room earlier,
watching everyone around me. What they said about the wines and how they saw it with some dish a family member always makes, how Chardonnay would “go so good with that pasta that Amelia makes…” By myself in the room, just the observer. Now home, sipping a Pinot, Sonoma Coast, yes from Roth, taking aContinue reading “In the tasting room earlier,”
Foley Wine Shelf, Free’d Page
The Foley offerings offer not just an encompassing appreciation of wine and wine life, the collective wine narrative, but a kaleidoscopic count of wine characters. From newer additions to the beatific colony like Banshee, and Foley Sonoma (former Stryker property), as wine pursuer you have a distinguished bottle diction, across varietals and growing regions. Foley’sContinue reading “Foley Wine Shelf, Free’d Page”
