A Moment in Wine Country

The Italian poet, Ceasar Pavese said we do not remembers days, we remember moments. Quivira Vineyards, Healdsburg, CA marks the moment when Sam, Ed and I toasted our commitment to onthelist. Quivira is a familiar place as it marks the denouement of our annual pilgrimages of wine tasting, hot tubing and soulful re-collections.

The setting at Quivira Vineyards seduces inspiration. One feels the passion of folks who truly care about nature, the art of wine and the joys of being human. We particularly like the 2002 Zinfandel. Bring along fresh sandwiches from the nearby Oakville Grocery, and your picnic on the patio overlooking fields of organic grapes is a moment worthy of a toast.

We toasted onthelist as a way of sharing our collection of personal experiences. Those special places that beckon smiles, of hearing a child laugh, the feelings of being overwhelmed by nature, as well as the intimacy of remembering a deep kiss, a simple meal, the irreverant, the just plain neat, and our shared joy of finding the unusual.

Onthelist is not high style a la Conde Nast. But just three guys who have collected a lifetime of savory moments.

Enjoy. For more moments and stories.
