Complexity part 2: Analogies
Describing complexity in wine is difficult. How can one contrast a pleasing, but simple wine with a complex wine with depth? Analogies can help. So here are a few that could be especially pertinent given our current shared predicaments.
Film
Action and suspense movies offer mindless escapism for which there is most definitely a time and place.
Art films may induce naps, but they can also be extremely thought provoking the next day.
Music
Rock and roll encourages a good workout and stress relief.
Classical allows us to ponder life while sitting quietly by the fireplace.
Food
Nothing like a burger when you’re hungry.
I can still remember great meals from years ago that inspired the home cook in me.
Books
Mysteries and who-done-it page turners are wonderful beach reads.
Great literature can be demanding, but satisfying and rewarding when finished.
Wine
Rosé with alfresco lunch on vacation. Nothing better.
A well-aged special bottle with your partner and a quiet dinner. The wine speaks volumes.
