Being stubourn can be the brace to keep us on a path to reach a level higher than the levelwere on or being stubbourn can prevent us from growing.
We thus can be like that because our self or in spite of our self.
Boils down to knowing who we are or would like to become.
Have a good one; H

Hi, Harry, shavu'a tov,

2014 O'Dwyers Creek Pinot Noir. Nice enough, especially after the initial spice(!) blows off and just leaves a bit. Do not think it is worth the price.

A good week to all,

Isaac

The wine i had was way past the Rogov window but he did give it at the time a 91. The cork did crumble. The wine is browning a tad.
But the wine was really good and enjoyable.
Galil Mt barbera 2006!!

My family is known for its stubborness.

When you are stubborn in what people think is not a good reason or cause, they call you stubborn. When they think it's a good reason or cause, they call you persistent.

2004 Arnoux et fils Crozes-Hermitage. I bought it on sale years ago. When I asked why it was on sale, I was told that it had so much tannin that the shop thought it would never be drinkable. Well, they were wrong. It's not great but it certainly is pretty drinkable. So on buying and keeping it, was I stubborn or persistent?

Hi Harry,

I started the meal with Hagafen Brut Cuvee de Noir 2007. This wonderful Pinot based sparkling wine is as tempting to the eyes as to the palate. The rose' colored wine showcases a bouquet of strawberries with eye popping color and bubbles. The fruit follows through on the palate with brioche, white chocolate and tea. In other words, the expressive fruit is accompanied by pleasant yeast and other secondary flavors and aromas. With the entree I turned to the Flam Cabernet Sauvingon Reserve 2010. While some raspberry flavors linger in the background, this wine isn't about its fruit, but about the interplay of the edgy if elegant tannins with the alcohol and wood. The fruit is really just the canvas for the winemaker to spin his magic.
