I’m letting out a huge sigh after reading this. It’s so poignant. It would have been so easy to be overly sentimental with a post like this but you infused it with enough humor and space to create a post as delicious as any wine. From a very personal note, my father also made wine and even down to the fruit flies–the experience is the same. My dad passed 4 1/2 years ago and just like a great wine, the memories wafted up.

Dan, that was a beautiful post and you made me tear up imagining you with your glass of wine at night.

Cheers to you and your father.

Like a nice bottle of pinot, this is one of my favorite posts, both as a wine drinker and a fan of your writing.

SO, when will you be teaching your kids the joys of battery acid and grape juice making?

I wonder if your dad realizes the lasting impression he left on you when he involved you in his wine-making? This part of him will forever live on through you.
