Wine Blogging Wednesday - Driving While What??



Happy Girls are Found in Vineyards

DRIVING WHILE WHAT?

but first…



White Rock Vineyards Napa Valley Claret

This is an astonishing Bordeaux-style wine from the Napa Valley. Supple and lush with loads of ripe fruit and undertones of leather and tobacco, it’s half-French, half- California in style. White Rock Vineyards was established as early as 1870 and brought back in the late ’70s by the Vandendriessche family. Made from a classic blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot.  Perfect for that great steak or rich braised stew.

DRIVING WHILE WHAT?

It seems to me that I become obsessed with information when I’m faced with buying big ticket items.  I needed a new roof  and *POOF* I threw myself into research on Certainteed shingles vs. cedar shakes.  I wanted a new patio  and *SHAZAM*  I launced into a study of exposed aggregate, brick pavers, bluestone and an array of stamped concretes.  I think it’s fun to shop for just about anything until I have to lay down a signature or commit so much cash…

So when I started looking at cars, I had my notebook, #2 pencil and camera at the ready.  Aestetics are just as important as reliability – so first I jotted down the cars that looked great on the road.  What started off as a study on the outside of the car, quickly became astonishment at what was going on inside the car.  I mean really – people in this country have turned their vehicles into offices, mini restaurants, salons and god forbid even daycare centers.  They do just about everything while driving….Let’s take a look:

It’s official.  We do way too many things in car.  We sing, eat, primp, talk and even deliver babies in cars.  Well… some of those babies started out there didn’t they?

With the world of technology ever spinning out of control, can we all just slow down a bit and concentrate on the task at hand – DRIVING!
