Slanted Vine, Pinot Noir 2009







This wine was lovely.  I fell in love with it as if we were on ecstasy together at an after-party.  It fulfilled all of my requirements for a great wine: it tasted like grapes, had alcohol in it, and didn't impede the conversation terribly.  I must have finished it in about 30 minutes.  I didn't set the timer on this one, but I drank it quickly and happily while sitting on our patio chatting with a friend.


I wish all of life could be more like this wine. It was renewing, resolute, and quite disaffectedly à la mode. 


I bought it because I liked the label.  There's a little house that's been converted to a wine store within easy walking distance from our apartment. It is a great go-to place for good suggestions.  I would provide a link but their site is abysmal. 




One day I hope to be useful to the world, in a way that brings me lots of money. I'd like to be paid very well to contribute something meaningful to something meaningful. Many must wish for that. But I don't wish it just to be remembered, I actually would prefer getting very rich from it, even in obscurity.  I don't want to exploit others but I'm not opposed to considering that as an option.  I just feel so outnumbered in that regard.  There's a world full of cheating going on. To get rich that way would be pure, blind, dumb chance.  


Many must dream of getting rich easily, of being satisfied with both their efforts and the rewards associated with those efforts.  If there were only a way of getting a dollar from each and every one of those people every week, or day.... If I could start my own lottery, or tax people without consent, issue my own edicts, decrees, start wars, print money, rape the banks, etc.


Well, I'm not sure where I'm going with all of this.  If anybody reading this would like to pay off my student loans then please contact me.


Many must wish.
