The importance of a glass of wine...

I was just contemplating the importance of power naps and let my granddaughter know. She was mentioning she could use a nap "mid-day". No problem! Just do it. (see my nap blog here: Marcia talks NAPS )

 Then, since I had already written about the importance of naps, I noticed I had drank a glass of leftover wine and quite enjoyed it. After drinking the partial glass of wine, I took about 30 minutes to make a call and talk to my brother, who is not feeling well. We had a wonderful conversation. I didn't feel rushed, I was relaxed and it made my day so much better (instead of working, working, working...).

 I like what Allison Davis (Quality Assurance Tester) from Idle Cellars posted:

 FAQ: 

•  WTF does "dry" mean? It's wet, ain't it? I'm including this in here because I wondered this for YEARS but was afraid to ask. I know that sounds like a middle-school sex pamphlet title but it's true. Basically, dry means now you taste it, now you don't. The flavor just dances on your tongue for a second and then it's gone — little to no lingering aftertaste, and yet strangely savory. 
•  I thought a “bouquet” was for flowers? Why do they keep saying that? It, as well as “nose,” is a fancy way of saying what a wine smells like, and you can totally roll your eyes when anyone says it to you. 
•  What about decanting? What's up with that? Decanting is a fancy way of letting wine air out, and it's legit. It's basically wine's way of unbuttoning the top button of its pants after a big meal. You know how awesome that is, right? Well, wine feels the same way. And unlike you, tastes better as a result. When the waiter pours a little into the glass, and looks at me all expectantly, what does he want from me? He wants you to nod your head so he can get to pouring for the other people you're with, which you should unless it tastes like complete ass. Is more-expensive better? Hell no. But sometimes, yeah. It's a lot like clothing — it doesn't need to be expensive to be awesome, but the first time you try on a dress that's tailored to your body perfectly and made of a material that you never want to take off, you get why it costs $300. It's the difference between Forever 21 and your favorite boutique. Sometimes a bottle is expensive because the vineyard read the grapes bedtime stories every night and knit each grape little blankies so they didn't catch colds. I guess the takeaway is to not feel pressured to buy something because it's expensive, but craftsmanship costs you (in a good way). 
•  Do I need to pair white with chicken and red with meat? What about rose? Or zinfandel? I mean, whatever. Seriously, drink what you want with who you want, where you want, when you want. Trust your taste buds and you can't go wrong.

Speaking of being a QA tester for a winery...what the heck kind of job is that?  and how does one get a job like that? 

Some advice, if you want to take it.  Which Wine?
