Wine and Religion have been linked for ages.
Most know about the Wedding of Caana, where Jesus reputedly turned water into wine (a thing that many New Zealand winemakers did in the 1960's and 70's before more stringent legislation limited the use of the black hose) and of the many references to wine in the Bible and other religious writings.
Which brings me to Robert's (Roberts thoughts blog) latest blog where he says:
Maybe you and I are here because God had a vision of something beautiful. Maybe He wanted to share His happiness. Maybe He wanted to impart Himself into us so we could share his bliss.
Maybe what Robert meant, and he does misspell things, was ".... so we could share his piss" (piss being a colloquialism for alcohol) and that God was drinking wine (Chardonnay?), lots of it, and in his largess, having seen a beautiful vision, wanted to share his wine with us.
Seems reasonable to me given that if God is the Creator then he has plenty of the stuff to share around. What beats me though is that if he is all knowing, why did he create that godawful Pinot Gris that everyone is drinking nowadays

A taste of bliss is to drink piss
Be it wine or lager beer
Birra Messina or Pinot Griss?
It's all a gift from God up there.
Nice hat Robert
The hokey, homely look goes well with your Pinot Gris habit.
Never touch the stuff.
What happened to Sanctuary? They did a good Pinot Gris and a great Reisling.
Good question John Locke.
Sanctuary is a brand owned by Grove Mill in Marlborough.
It is basically their second label ie. cheaper and using up remainder fruit.
The Pinot Gris (sweeter style) has been popular. Don't know much about the Riesling.
What I do know though is that Sanctuary is the label they use to claim carbon neutral status and environement friendliness,
Just recently they got into trouble with their claims and there has been suggestions that their calculations were wrong.
Coincidentally Sanctuary wines have become unavailable.
Spooky?
Hi Wine Guy,
I've just found your site.
Nice to have a site devoted to chardonnay.
Keep up the good work.
Richard (of RBB)
ps. I worried about Rod (oops, I mean John Locke) drinking Rose. Will this make him gay?
Might be too late!
Rose wines are often referred to as Pink wines -- draw your own conclusions
Any chance of a post ...
Maybe "A day in the life of the Wine Guy"
