Inheritance

Father standing at the door of his wine cellar addresses his son:

“With any luck my son, none of this will be yours.”

(Taken from Nicolaas Klei, “Over de tong”)

And, that is how it should be. Wine bottles are for drinking not collecting, at least in my opinion. So open these great bottles for a bunch of friends (who can appreciate it).

And how do you know they can appreciate it…well, if they put coca-cola in their wine they surely can’t!

Share a nice bottle of wine today!

If you enjoyed this post, make my day and buy me a glass of wine.
