Humanitas New Year Haiku

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to get back into blogging.  I took several months off to focus on other areas of the Humanitas business (which will become fodder for some of the future posts!), but now feel compelled to spread the good word of Humanitas Wines once again…and with passion!  So many wonderful [...]

Humanitas Hump Day Haiku…Water – the New Oil

Wednesday, January 28, 2009

Just about every ten years, we have a drought in California, and we are past due.  Starting last year, unless we get a ton of rain (and snow in the Sierras), this year will be a pretty serious drought year.  Water is very tight and vineyards are trying to figure out if they can afford to irrigate [...]

Humanitas Hump Day Haiku…It’s a Wonderful Life!

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Declarative statement:  the best Holiday movie ever is ‘It’s A Wonderful Life.’
There.  I said it.  Now go ahead and challenge me.
Seriously, Frank Capra’s classic is a glorious example of how movies should be made, and it is made even more perfect by Jimmy Stewart in his best performance.  And Jimmy Stewart at his best is [...]

Humanitas Hump Day Haiku…Two for the Price of One!

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

The Holidays are at once inspiring, enlightening…and tiring!  For us, as a family of five, it means travel, entertaining, packing…and basically a lot of work.  My wife has a wonderful lexicon for these kinds of things — she clearly differentiates a ‘trip’ from a ‘vacation.’  In essence, a ‘trip’ is where you pack up all [...]

Humanitas Haiku of the Week…#2

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

I love Sauvignon Blanc.  I think it is one of the most versatile wines — perfect in so many situations and with so many foods.  The current favorite in our house (besides the Humanitas 2006 Monterey Sauvignon Blanc of course!) is Pomelo.  Pomelo is the second label of Mason Cellars.  Randy Mason is a great winemaker, [...]

Humanitas Haiku of the Week…

Thursday, October 23, 2008

There is something about Haiku that can be at once artistic…or downright silly.  Regardless, I am strangely drawn to this art-form.  And I do believe that the creativity after one or two glasses of wine leans a bit more to the ‘art’ side of the scale, while more than that swiftly moves to the ’silly’ side.  I suppose [...]
