Design&Wine, Period. Not Quite...

I know what you are thinking. Vintage design and wine, how do those mix?  For me, it is an experiment in aging, which translates into a discovery of the self.  Why do we like the things we like? why do we choose the things we choose?  Why are we considered modern or contemporary while another is old-world or traditional?  Why do I hate Moscatos but you love them; better yet, why do I generally love Cabs but hate the one I drank last night?  I thrive on creativity, have a deeply seeded love for figuring out how to fix things, I see potential in things that are old, dirty, and weathered beyond use, and I am addicted to finding the next best thing.  Hmmmm, why does this sound more like a laundry list of issues to discuss with a therapist than reasons why I like vintage re-purposing?   I mean, who wouldn't need a glass of wine, right? Sheesh. Do I detect a hint of childhood divorce, a peppering of inability to let things go, and a slight aroma of control freak? and this is what it's all about!  For the past five years I have struggled with the whos, whats, whens, wheres, whys, and hows of life, and as I round out the last few unemployed months of what my older brother aptly deemed "the quarter-life crisis", I am attempting to learn more about me now, and worry less about me-future.  I am not and will never claim to be an expert at anything but being me.  This is about enjoying life, experimenting, sharing,  and like a fine wine (that is probably too pricey for me to try), getting better with age.
