New post on Wines Saves Lives! exploring the idea that one can devote a lifetime to studying something (in my case, Cabernet Franc) and realize (happily) that one knows only the smallest bit about it. Art rewards passion and openmindedness…each time one shoves her nose into a great book or piece of art or glass of Cab Franc, she learns more about that thing, and – more crucially – about herself.
Exploration burns away biases and preconceived notions and makes us better people.
