A zinquiry into fantastic wine value
“The thing to keep in mind when working on a motorcycle and drinking a delicious glass of Sextant Wines Central Coast 2008 Zinfandel – with its intense black cherry hues that partner with a bouquet of vanilla, wild strawberries, sweet baked rhubarb and the complexity of subtle herbs – is that working on the motorcycle part becomes harder with each glass, while the drinking Zin part becomes easier. Is this not the way with all things in this balancing act we call life?”
“The soul of the 2008 Sextant Central Coast Zinfandel is comprised of robust berries including blueberry, raspberry, strawberry along with pomegranate flavors and a kiss of chocolate. While the soul of this motorcycle is engine parts. So now you can now understand why it is easier to drink the wine than to drink the motorcycle.”
“When working on a motorcycle it is impossible not to consider the idea of ‘quality.’ Who is it that determines what constitutes high quality work? How does one reconcile differences in quality between two completely different things whose paths cross? For example, look here at all the things I have broken on this motorcycle. And look here at this empty bottle of simply done yet elegant and classic Zin. How can it be that my consumption of a quality wine has lessened the quality of the motorcycle? And how am I going to explain this to Todd, whose motorcycle it is?”
