Of course this was difficult for me to read. I loved it too much, for all these same reasons. I quit this affair, the thing I loved the very most. I got the guts of this post probably more than most people could. I think anonymous was admitting something here, struggling, not just sharing. But perhaps I have a bit of a slanted view.

Now I want wine…but I’ll get over it. I’m getting over it. Slowly.

What CK said. I just can’t say it any better. Thank you, Anonymous. And thank you, CK.

I couldn’t get through it. Tried to read it twice. Tried to listen to it once. Maybe I just needed to drink more wine?
Wish we lived closer so we could book club it together!

Dear Anonymous Pinot Noir Writer:

You are a rock star for saying what you did in this post.

Yum, yum on the Pinot Noir (on anything red, in fact)! And even though this was an anonymous post I can give you a few recommendations of my own:

Basically, anything from Washington or Oregon State – Willamette Valley, especially.

For specifics, try these (as if I’m some kind of wine connoisseur):

-Chateau Bianca Pinot Noir (Oregon)
-Trinity Oaks Pinot Noir (California)
-Castle Rock Pinot Noir (California)
-Sharecroppers Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Oh, and because we are money-conscious over here, all but the last one are under $20. Thank goodness for really good yet inexpensive wine!

Sarah, I’d definitely read it–just maybe wait until Spring :)

I know the feeling all too well and I think my husband could write the same post about a cold glass of dark beer. Now I am counting the hours until happy hour. T minus 4hrs and 55min…

BTW – any good Pinot Noir recommendations?

It’s called The Inheritance of Loss. It starts slow…and is often sad…a good read, but not perhaps the best choice for mid-winter.

Here’s to wine indeed!
What’s the book? A little something good?
