SPRING BREAK 2011

Well, we started spring break last week and it has been outstanding. Not outstanding in an undergraduate debaucherous way but rather a much needed respite. While the students of the senior class at the school we teach at are nervously deciding where they will attend college in the fall, we are reading, riding, eating and tasting wine.  

The wine deliveries from my friends at Garagiste WInes, Kermit Lynch and Montelena will continue into this week. More on that in a later entry.

In the spirit of pairing drink with literature, I am fully engaged right now in Graham Greene's The Comedians and if you are a rum aficionado I would recommend the pairing. I am not, so bourbon it is. Having spent some time in Haiti during the 1990's, Green's words are penetrating, but would we expect anything else from him?


Cheers.
