Daydreaming Idly
"It is reality that awakens possibilities, and nothing would be more perverse than to deny it. Even so, it will always be the same possibilities, either in sum or on the average, that go on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality over the idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their directions, and he awakens them."
- Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities
"The truth will set you free. But not until it is done with you."

Rioja > Malbec
I’m tasting a few wines back to back today. Argentinian Malbecs are some of the most popular reds currently, and I’m no exception to the masses who have discovered this varietal from this region over the past few years and have loved it. And there seems to have been winemaking in Rioja ever since there was winemaking. The very idea of this wine makes me think of wine’s long history and development.
For no particular reason, these are the two varietals/regions that I tasted back-to-back tonight. For my preferences - and tonight was no exception- I am a total sucker for reds from Rioja. Subtle, but can stand up to a cheeseburger. Yum.
