miscellaneous rambling

One of the highlights of the trip was renting a van and going out to the Niagra region to wine country. I have been on wine tours before, but this was the first to do several on one day. Reminds me of the movie Sideways. This was taken at the 2nd of 4 that we went to. The wineries range from small, homey ones, to large, slik looking ones that sell very expensive glassware, and wine accessories. Each time I've been on a wine tour I manage to learn a bit more about what I'm drinking. This is important to me, as I have always felt that there is a science and an art to drinking. Drinking can be a way to enjoy moments with loved ones, but not a neccesity of course. However, should one choose to imbibe, I"d think that as one's tolerance and cashflow has limits, why not drink something good as opposed crap? And there are always beverages that suit one's taste and budget. It was a great day. Oh yeah, we saw Niagra Falls too. That was nice as well.
