Honey, you’re 13. The simple fact is you’re just not ready to set sail across the globe. Well, because it’s dangerous. And not just for you, y’know. What sort of self-centered jerk would take off with little to no regard for the people who will have to eventually risk their lives trying to track you down in 30-foot swells?
Maybe you should try winemaking.
Your mother and I are just saying that it worked for Laura Zahtila. She bought her vineyard in 1999 and already she’s making award-winning wines like the Laura Zahtila Vineyard 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Georges III! Have you tried this?
Well, no, of course you haven’t. You’re 13.
Yes, we acknowledge that circumnavigating the globe would be a pretty satisfying venture to accomplish. But what about crafting a deep, purple wine with plum, sour cherry, and toasted oak flavors? Surely people would be more impressed by a 13-year-old who can manage to extract a luxurious finish and soft, supple mouth feel.
Plus, you wouldn’t be all alone stranded in the Indian Ocean and dodging waves bigger than office buildings.
Oh, you’re right Tova. We can’t stop you from following your dreams, no matter how terrible and dangerous they may be. After all, we’re only your parents.
2005 Laura Zahtila Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon:
This wine has a deep, concentrated violet-purple color and wonderful, floral bouquet. Clone 6 cabernet fruit saturates the palate with nuances of rich plum, a hint of sour cherry and toasty French oak. A long and luxurious finish adds to the lovely, velvety mouth feel. This wine was aged for 21 months on 40% new French Oak barrels.
