A Fond Tribute to Wine
One of the finest gifts given to us by our Creator is the fermented grape. It is only one among countless marvels in nature. And yet, even in this singular fruit do we recognize an infinite divine wisdom. When properly utilized by man– I mean to say– that when it is ripened, picked, pressed, and aged with others of its kind in sufficient quantity, the grape produces a beverage whose virtues are legendary. Is it any wonder that from time immemorial, man has employed wine for salutary rituals and sacramental rites?
Wine is: light– held together by moisture.
