With the holidays – all of them! – fast approaching, it takes all the energy I’m capable of not to turn into a Grinch. So as not to inflict my Seasonal Affective Churlishness (SAD SAC) on my innocent readers, I’ve decided to follow Diane’s excellent example and take a brief sabbatical from this blog.
I have in fact been blogging without a break about every two weeks for more than a dozen years now, and I would be less than honest if I didn’t admit to feeling a little stale at it. So I hope that a short break will refresh me – and you too, O faithful readers – and let me return with renewed enthusiasm to the pleasures of wine and the purple prose it moves me to.
I hope you all have a splendid set of holidays, whichever of them you choose to celebrate, and that you enjoy many fine bottles to celebrate them with. I’ll see you again early in 2024, when I hope to be back to my usual (I think) cheerful state.
Buone Feste!
Have a good rest! In the meantime we are really looking forward for reading you again, as your views and comments are always really interesting.
I, for one, never find you stale. but there you go. Enjoy your break.
Many thanks.
‘The soul wanders gently’. You’re right . Buone feste ed Auguri.

Tom:
May all your roast beasts be tender and rare, and all your libations conjured with care.
See you in the new year.
Best,
Joe
