Well, with the week I've had it'll be easy to justify enjoying some great wines this weekend. Sometimes too much stress tends to cloud my judgement, but... on the other hand, a little wine sometimes leads to greater clarity!
Tonight though, it'll be beer with my hunting buddies. Beer just seems more comfortable accompanying a big bowl of spicy Cajun 'sauce picquant' filled with all kinds of yummy stuff. But tomorrow night my lovely wife and I are visiting some great 'wine friends' and that's always an excuse to raid my cellar for a couple of special bottles to share. I don't know about you, but I think wine is ALWAYS more enjoyable when shared with friends who appreciate good juice!
And Sunday is going to be really special. My wine group, the Mad Dawgs, will be having an incredible Italian event that will feature classic Brunellos from the fabled 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001 vintages. That will be memorable for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that it'll be honoring the memory of John Dickson, a charter member that we lost to kidney cancer a few years back. John LOVED his Italian wines. And we miss him.
