Storyteller Pinot Noir: Into the Fog
Back when I didn’t like Pinot Noir, I still liked this wine
because of what the bottle implies. I
love the idea of disappearing into the fog, whether it is the fog of a new
idea, a new adventure, or a mystery waiting to be solved. Writing for me is very much like this – it is
an escape into a new world that I can barely make out and whose defining
features are yet to be seen.
When I start a writing project, be it a blog, a newsletter,
a novel, or a short story, the blank “page” is as open as the sky. There’s no limit to where I can take
myself. I can look at the page like a
job – dreading the time it will take to put words on paper to get that
newsletter out next week as scheduled.
Or I can see it as an adventure – an opportunity to explore the world of
words, and to take others on the journey with me.
Into the Fog takes you on a journey of cherries,
cranberries, leather, and a whisp or two of smoke. It’s light, easy to drink with or without
food. You’ll have to paint your own
picture from there. Imagine a pathway
disappearing into the woods, the evening’s misty swirling over the path. Perhaps you see a light in the distance – is
it the flicker of a lantern or the steady beam of an iPhone? Do venture toward the light or do you retreat
to the safety of your living room? The
choice is yours.
