I love this Jordan. I feel similarly about the fear-mongering nature of the all-or-nothing thinking when it comes to alcohol. My partner is a fermentation scientist and a big part of traveling for us is visiting local wineries and breweries as a way of learning about the land, culture, and community in a place. I feel like an awareness of a personal balance is so important and you speak to this really beautifully. I wish we lived closer to drink a glass of wine and write poems together! 💕
Regardless of where we live, we can absolutely make this happen! It sounds like you and your partner travel very similarly to how my husband and I do. Cheers to meeting up at a winery at some point in the future! Do you have a favorite winery or wine area you love to revisit?
I grew up in eastern Washington, which actually has some really amazing wine! Whenever I’m there visiting my parents it’s fun to cruise around. I went to Calistoga a couple years ago, which I really loved also! I always love revisiting northern California and that area.
I love Walla Walla! I’ve visited there a couple times with my husband—Foundry is one of my favorite wineries there for Pet-nat. Calistoga is one of my faves as well. We lived there in the bus for a short while. It’s a lot more casual than other parts of the Napa Valley.
Thanks for this post, Jordan. I'm totally with you. What is wrong with a beautiful glass of wine that completes a delicious home made meal? There's currently a lot of this all-or-nothing thinking going on, not only for wine drinking and I don't think that it's healthy. I'm all for the Happy Middle. I love this term. ♥️
Yayyyyyy I'm so glad you wrote this piece and planted your flag! "Wine connects me to nature, the terrior, the sense of place." Cheers to that, friend. 🤍
