Wine is about company, conversation, and other things that begin with C. So while you can enjoy it all on your own, the chances are that the better the wine, the more you’ll regret not being able to share that aforementioned proverbial capsicum. Like the marlin that got away, or that hole-in-one that no one else saw.
This is why every wine review on HDS is accompanied by varying levels of extraneous detail, some conversation starters, and usually as least one fact that I share, hoping that someone out there in the universe finds it as interesting as I do. Because most things that appear to be about wine are actually about connecting with people.
