A read—short and sweet, that journeys the full depth of what friendships have the potential to become. This writing is a celebration of life and true friendship; we are all invited to share in the toast. A youthful writer discovers, in the life story of an older lady, the artisan creation of vintage wine. The woman with red hair and blue eyes becomes a friend to the young man, and he recognizes in her a pouring of grace into the lives of others, those in need of nourishment—mind and soul. The scenes of her life come alive as green vines climbing upward, sweet fruits cultivated by rich soil, and an ageless, mellow red wine that finds a richness devoid of regret. Grab a glass! The best pairing for this book is a glass of wine.
