How to Choose Wine Based on your Favorite Author
“So if wine descriptions are nothing more than personal narrative, perhaps you can look to literary styles when selecting your next bottle. Below are a few authors you may be familiar with along with a wine selection to accompany them. The idea is if you like their style, you’ll probably like the style of the recommended wine.” - Anthony Enright
“Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns–or dollars. Take your choice–there is no other. When the product of the vine becomes a direct representation of the efforts of men to produce greatness the exchange of dollars for the product becomes the highest expression of the capitalist ideal. This is such a wine.”
- Ayn Rand
