I love this. I once opened my only bottle of Tempier rosé – the only one I had ever bought, and one of the more expensive bottles of wine I've ever purchased – on a whim because some not-very-close friends had passed our front yard on an evening walk, and stopped to chat with us on our patio. Sharing that lovely wine with them, spontaneously like that, was wonderful. Much more delightful than if I had coldly saved it for the "right moment" -- *that* was the right moment.
Maybe not exactly free will since we do it every Friday, but my wife and I have Bubbly Friday. Every Friday our drink is champagne, cava, etc. one of the bubblies. You are absolutely correct on the difference in a good champagne at over $100. Even more correct that you do not need any special occasion. Thanks.
Thanks, Dan, you have just raised my consciousness, like they used to say in the 60's. I will endeavour to include your message in further wine talks, lectures etc. great stuff.
