Family and friends sit around the fire I started in the backyard of the Airbnb we rented in Tarshish. It’s a windy night. The fire is dancing wildly in the pit as if it’s a wildfire that doesn’t want to be tamed.

I uncork the first bottle of red of the night. I fill the glasses, and everybody takes a sip. It’s a 14-year-old wine. I taste the sweetness that comes with age. Then I get strong notes of wood, licorice, ripe black fruits, blackberries, black cherries, etc.

The wine is good.
Everybody is in a good mood.
Life is good.
