...connoisseurs, wine is not merely a commodity but art, poetry, flowers -depending on how lyrical or sensual one chooses to be. "Wine can be likened to a living being," say Hurst Hannum and Robert S. Blumberg in The Fine Wines of California. "It thrives on proper care and can turn against those who mistreat it."
