Christmas Wish

Gretchen Neuman
VinoVerve Editor

Some place deep inside of each of us, there is a child who is dying to get out and enjoy the holidays with the abandon that we did as kids. At Christmas time, or Hanukah for Rory (Mozel Tov!) we are celebrate traditions that make it easy for us to forget that we still aren’t 12. (though, frankly I would prefer to regress to six, thankyouverymuch) Remember when you thought that the sky was the limit? You could ask for a pony and all the ice cream in the world and were disappointed that you didn’t get it (You were going to give your Daddy all the rum raisin, so you weren’t being selfish)? How long did it take you to lower the expectations on your dreams? Maybe a year, two tops?

This year, I want to re-invigorate my Christmas flight of fancy. I want to dream big again . And I am using the holiday season as a way to exercise this kind of dreaming.

When I grow up I want to be a professional VinoVerver. I want Marguerite and I to be able to devote our time to traveling around the country and visiting wineries. Heck, I would like to visit wineries WITH Marguerite. I would like Marguerite and I to road trip and attend the Wine Blogger’s Conference in Walla Walla, Washington this year too. So here, it goes. My letter to Santa
