I read the news, some of which is frightening, out on the street I see and hear people who are obviously suffering, and then I drink a glass of Riesling and I talk with people who enjoy Riesling, and I feel sure that in spite of whatever shit goes down everything will be alright. And knowing that purchasing that glass of Riesling – wherever it came from – didn’t bring involve the risk of financial ruin makes this thought even more comforting.
