Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle. ~ Paulo Coelho

Good Morning!

Welcome to Tuesday's Open Thread. Today, I thought we'd do something a little different. So, instead of indulging in the world of food, I thought we'd take a stroll through the Chianti region of Italy. I know it's a bit of a departure from the usual Tuesday OT, but over the last year I've had the opportunity to participate in weekly wine tastings, courtesy of Trader Joe's. As I've tasted new wines, I was surprised to learn how much the experience has added not only to my knowledge but to my enjoyment of wine as well. Hopefully, you will find my modest scribblings useful or interesting, or maybe it will even inspire you to try new wines!
