Song by Song and Wine by Wine

Someone said that wine in itself is an excellent thing and that is reaaly so but not only. All those who enjoy the occasional glass of wine, who believe that a meal is not complete without the bottle of good wine, so they know what I mean. Beer is made by men, but wine by God! “The scope of the subject of wine is never ending, so many other subjects lie within its boundaries. Without geography and topography it is incomprehensible; without history it is colorless; without taste it is meaningless; without travel it remains unreal. It embraces botany, chemistry, agriculture, carpentry, economics – any number of sciences whose names I do not even know. It leads you up paths of knowledge and by-ways of experience you would never glimpse without it.”

Bottle of perfect wine is also superb gift for someone you love. Everyone has his or her own preferences for wine. A to me I prefer red and dry types of wine like Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon or something in Bordeaux style wines. But preparing for hest one should take into accaunt such important points as the types of foods with which the wine can be paired and your guests’ preferences of course. Oh, what I am talking about you know it pretty well.

Tout se mêle en un vif éclat de gaieté verte
O le beau soir de mai ! Tous les oiseaux en choeur,
Ainsi que les espoirs naguère à mon coeur,
Modulent leur prélude à ma croisée ouverte.
