A lifestyle blog by Allison Arbuthnot on The Whole 9

Allison was raised on the vine in Sonoma, California, and believes that life is too short to drink bad wine, count calories, or second-guess your destiny. She now lives in Los Angeles where she practices many things, the two most important being contentment and tricks for opening a wine bottle without a wine key.

A Little Bit of Lovin’

A true wine lover once told me that you don’t need to have a special occasion to open that special bottle of wine: opening the wine is the special occasion.

I try to live in accordance with this simple philosophy whenever possible, applicable not just to wine, but to many things in life. Sometimes, though, a special occasion is just what you need to pardon yourself of some extreme self-indulgence and crack open that bottle you’ve been drooling over for the past 3 years, 3 months, or 3 days.

Tonight, Tom and I will be enjoying some fabulous Italian in a small, nondescript neighborhood restaurant. We will be bringing a bottle of the Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2003, an old friend of a wine who traveled with me on my move from San Francisco to Los Angeles and has been hanging out in the basement since, patiently waiting its day to be consumed and appreciated for what it is: one of the best Napa Cabernets around. Bold statement, I know. It’s true.

Sweetheart or no, I hope you treat yourself to something worthy of YOU this evening.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Cheers!
