“but in certain years, grapes of a particular vineyard and particular vines are deemed to be of exceptional quality. We call these “vintage“ They’re not blended with anything else. They stand alone.
Vintage is God‘s work. A grower cannot make it happen, and no one knows when a crop will be of such rare excellence.”

“The thought of water filled Theo‘s mind. The incessance of its movement.
The hidden life beneath the surface.
The utter dependence of all living things on its presence.
The gentle beauty and surprising strength of its flow.
Its surrender to forces about and around it: gravity, temperature, ingratitude.
The deathlessness of it.”

A flaw at last! A good ol’ “bilingual outburst.” Ha! Adding these to my repertoire of international insults for the idiotas I encounter.
