This is why it’s called “creative“ writing. Dinkinish plays with language like a jazz musician: bending notes, switching rhythms, wailing and moaning. Even if you’re not interested in or disagree with her about wine, there’s abundant pleasure in following her voyage of self discovery.

I’ve only just dipped a toe into the lake of natural wines. While much older than Dinkinish, I too was first captivated by the funk and earthiness of dark French reds and could readily relate to her notion of being pulled underground. Actually, that flavor profile remains my comfort zone, but this old dog is still willing to learn some new tricks

Thanks for the shout out!

And I felt this, "the wines you drink (or attract) are often a reflection of where you are in your life at that time."

The Grape Republic wine sounds really intriguing. Will keep a look out :)
