Facing my Wine, Falling Blossoms have Filled the Folds of my Clothes


Imagine a ragged drunk who smiles as he sees a gleaming moon float gently
across a soft gilded stream.

In "Amusing Myself", another famous poem, an inebriated glassy eyed Li Bai writes,

Facing my wine, I did not see the dusk,

But falling blossoms have filled the folds of my clothes,

Drunk I rise, and approach the moon in a river,

But birds are far away ... and people are few.



As Flowers Fall Like Rain

As our notorious poet continues to sip wine from what appears to be a bottomless cup ....
beautiful blossoms flow and the impending dusk seems far, far away.

But one must ask, just what continues to stimulate the poets' brilliant mind.

In " Amusing Myself", Li Bai creates lasting images that illuminate yet another lonely night.

At the same time, he enters another dark foreboding realm.


Facing my Wine I did Not see the Dusk


Perhaps a tragic poem, the real value of this work may lie as we enter the dark recesses of a rare, undiscovered world.

And within this world, the dark realities of the poets' mind may only be dissolved as an abundance of wine begins to flow, and flowers fall like rain.

But then, we must surely ask ourselves ..... should we laugh or cry?

After all, he is China's greatest poet, .... nothing but a notorious inebriated sot.

Such is the life of Li Bai ..... and all that he has now come to represent.

He is an adventurous poet, mystic and rabble-rouser par excellence.

One wine - Nine Grapes - Does it get any better?

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 17:33:45 PST
Review on a white wine made with 9 different grapes. Definitely worth checking out!

I kid you not: $4750 for a bottle of wine. It's a bargain too!

"No, that isn't a typo and yes, it's actually a very good price (you won't find this for less than $7000 on the open market). The wine was purchased for investment rather than imbibement, as it is far too precious to merely drink at this point in my life. I definitely didn't expect to walk out of Napa Rose with this!"

Low end speakers and the 'I can't hear the difference' myth

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:27:25 PST
Sophisticated baby boomers and Gen Xers pride themselves on their ability to appreciate the finer things in life. They're wine snobs, crave gourmet food, drive exotic cars, buy 1080p high definition TVs, but for some bizarre reason think low-end speakers are just dandy.

Sideways

One will definitely come across many people who drink a lot of different wines daily not knowing whats the difference and why they drink it for. The main character Miles (Paul Giamatti) knows and can easily identify any type of kind of wine from the other by merely smelling or taking a sip. This movie is as classic and sweet as the wines mentioned
