All the world is a vineyard and us, oenophiles


The best things in life are indeed the shortest lived. Life is, by all means, the mistress of tease. She lets you taste the best wines in her cellar... the very best of her pinot noir. You twirl it around in your glass, hold the glass up and examine the wine against the light enjoying its color and density, then you stick your nose in it and sniff in the aroma savoring it to the fullest. But one drink is all you get. Because then she hides the bottle so that you keep searching for it for the rest of your days. It is one search you would never wanna give up on...coz you know the thing about wines. The longer you search, the better its gonna taste when (IF) you find it in the end. Even if the search is futile and you end up never finding it, it still gives meaning and purpose to your life. That makes the search worth every day of your life. It is all those hidden bottles that make life beautiful... and it is the beauty that makes life worth living
