Americans then would sit after dinner and taste and talk about their fine wines.<br /><br />I hesitate to mention that I notice this in contrast to today's America, which seems to leave a dry, dusty taste in the mouth.<br /><br />This, though, I devote to a wine tasting of the world.<br /><br />What can we focus on? Even these are distractions. The purpose, the moving forward of a people. The very environment of selection that we strive to create, apart from the striving.<br /><br />The Glory of Mornings. The light of days. Bring it here, to me, and be with me in our appreciation and experience of good things.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5164017239698165863-5492581888719888055?l=wegetfinery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>William Bunkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147674002840512536noreply@blogger.com0
