This is a MASSIVE wine, I mean, like, PASO proportions, and loyal readers will know I’m a bit gun-shy on these horsepower Syrahs (see what I did there?). I don’t decant a lot of Syrahs, but this one immediately went under the air-knife, in hopes of drawing some varietal complexity out of its sheer volume. Dark med-ruby with a purple rim, it lavishes ridiculously thick black cherry and alcohol…

Fighting Over the Bottle: The Epic Story of Wine and War
Wine has traditionally served as a symbol of fellowship, celebration, and sometimes even the divine in religious and spiritual ceremonies. This is true in whatever possible perspective. History of wine and war has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years because of the cultural and historical recognition of its spiritual and transformational power. There is a long tradition of using wine in religious and cultural rituals.
A Religious Origin of Wine
Because of the popular notion that drinking may bring one closer to God, wine was held in high respect in religious contexts even in ancient times. Dionysus, the Greek deity of revelry and religious joy, was held in the highest regard as the ultimate vintner.
Wine was produced in Egypt for a very long time and played an important part in many ancient Egyptian religious ceremonies. Wine played an important role in ancient Roman religious rites and feasts, implying a holy relationship between the two.
The Eucharist is a communion service Christians observe annually to commemorate the Last Supper Jesus shared with his followers. Wine is crucial to this ritual ceremony because of its symbolic meaning. During the Eucharist, wine is used to symbolize Christ's blood, and the priest usually begins the ceremony by blessing the wine before distributing it to the congregation.
Some examples of Jewish religious practices include the Kiddush, the blessing of the Sabbath and other holy days with wine. The inclusion of wine during the Passover Seder is a sign of the Jewish people's joy and freedom. Wine is a symbol of both, so this is a great way to celebrate them together.
The Role of Wine in Contemporary Praise
Wine is used in many modern religious and spiritual ceremonies and celebrations. Wine is not just reserved for Christian and Jewish rites; it is utilized in celebrations across the board.
Although alcohol-free wines are permitted under Islamic law, alcoholic wines are strictly banned. Both Hindus and Buddhists use wine in rituals; for Hindus, it is a sacrifice to the gods, while for Buddhists, it is a symbol of enlightenment. Wine is offered to the Hindu gods on very special occasions.
It's wine o'clock, and time for some serious reflection.
Wine's usage in rituals and its association with the occult and the supernatural go back centuries in many civilizations. Wine has symbolic meaning in many world religions and spiritual traditions, including spiritual awakening and personal growth. Some people think it's a doorway to the afterlife.
In Christian rituals, wine often represents God's reviving grace because of its association with the Holy Spirit. Wine, in mystical traditions such as Sufism, is a metaphor for the ecstatic love and intoxication one feels in the presence of God. Several other mystical societies also make use of wine in their rituals.
Vino and Sciency Babble
Famous authors like Plato and Aristotle have been debating the merits of alcohol for ages. This is another proof that alcoholic beverages have always been associated with introspection.
The cerebral discussions in Plato's Symposium wouldn't be possible without the wine. However, Aristotle warns that immoral action might result from drinking too much wine in his Nicomachean Ethics. In history of wine studies is a new field of study, and experts are just beginning to scratch the surface of its many potential applications.
Conclusion
The religious significance of wine can provide light on the mysterious allure and transformational potential of this beverage. This is an exciting and promising field of study. In religious gatherings, spiritual ceremonies, and intellectual discussions alike, wine and war have been a staple for millennia. One word, wine, describes them all.
As we learn more about the history, cultural significance, and philosophical underpinnings of this timelessly beloved drink, our respect for it grows.

I just came in from a walk with my Friend. Our talk led me to this.
I was asleep by 7:30 last night.
It was a struggle to stay awake that long.
I don’t party at night.
I party all day long.
Every.
Dang.
Day.
Revelry over a date on the calendar is long a thing of my past.
Because…
Revelry over every date on the calendar is my circumstance.
In the blessed experience of our faith every day is a birthday. Even a Christmas!
I just experienced a resurrection like I do every morning. Easter erupts!
And get this. Today is a New Year beginning.
Just like yesterday.
And tomorrow.
I am a New Creation.
New wine has been poured to toast the never ending dawn.
A vintage created especially for this occasion.
The Vintner knows what he is doing. A flavor for every palate.
The fact that a few clouds may drift overhead from time to time can only bring a sharper contrast to the Light and Love of our Friend.
All kinds of goodness and glories await us today.
I go to bed early to be ready and renewed (revival anyone?) to party.
Every.
Dang.
Day.
You know what I mean?
Your move.
Brother Pat

D11-R
The Washington wine selection down in socal is rife with the *usual suspects* so getting some smaller-production stuff is a treat. Apparently, these are single-vineyard, single-clone bottlings, and this cab certainly offers a LOT of things people look for in a cab. First of all: it’s big. Very big. Don’t let the mildly-transparent body fool you. Though unfined and unfiltered, it offers a…

Rebellious
Purple-black and dense with a thin pink rim, gorgeous nose of tart black cherry and rich blackberry, surrounded by sharp briar and the kind of dusty, cassis-driven earthy barnyard every true Cab-lover craves. Concentrated and glycerine-wrapped, it powers through the nose with plenty of acid and dried-spit charisma to avoid unctuousness. Oak, berry, and briar work seamlessly together into a wine…

Spring Release Roast – Revelry Vintners
Saturday, May 2, 2015
11:00am 5:00pm
Entry to the ROAST is complimentary for Wine Club members, or $10 for non-members.
For this years ROAST not only are we going to give everyone the chance to check out the new release wines, but we are going to be throwing down some serious BBQ as well. For the first time in quite a few years we will be producing the food entirely in house, and though no one will be wearing a chef’s coat, we happened to be loaded with talent in the smoking and grilling department. This is going to be one to remember! Come one come all.
The spring ROAST event also marks the release of our small production Rosé, which quickly sells out every year.
