Resolve to Drink Wine
By Robert Farmer
‘Tis
the season for making and for breaking new year resolutions. Myself, I for the
past six or seven years have not been so foolhardy as to give in to the
temptation to make resolutions at the new year or any time of
year, knowing that not only are they wishful thinking, they tend to be
equally unrealistic and unattainable. But that’s not to say that the
changing of the calendar from one year to the next does not give me pause to
reflect on things I might do better, or differently, in the coming 365 days and
beyond. There is a certain undeniable tabula rasa effect that comes
in along with January 1st. So this year, I will put my mind to
seeking out and drinking better wine. That’s not to say that, to-date,
I’d been a dedicated “Two Buck Chuck” drinker. Rather, it
means that I am going to re-focus my mission to find those great wines that are
suitable for everyday enjoyment (i.e., they don’t break the bank, but
also don’t insult the palate). There’s strong evidence that this
resolution will be one I can achieve and, according to the 2007 wine market
report by Impact Databank, I will not be alone. The study indicates that
Americans are drinking more and better wine than ever, and they are seeking out
and relying upon dependable well-priced bottles.
