Think about it...Robert Vardanian has.
Rob describes wine as the story of a particular place, time, and the people who made it—essentially, each bottle is like a message in a bottle from a unique corner of the world. He draws a fun parallel to a scene in the film "Saving Private Ryan." In that scene, Tom Sizemore’s character scoops up dirt from the ground, stows it in a canister and labels it with the place’s name, like France, Germany, or Belgium. It’s a little collection of the land itself—a physical reminder of where he’s been.
Rob compares that to wine but with a bit more magic: while wine isn’t just “dirt in a can,” every bottle is a little time capsule. It captures the flavors of the land, the touch of the vintner, and the spirit of its era. And unlike war memorabilia, a bottle of wine can be enjoyed and shared across the world, whether you open it right away or save it for decades. It’s a beautiful, delicious way to relive (or share) a place and a moment in time, no battlefield required!
So, every time you pop a cork, you’re not just drinking wine—you’re sipping a piece of history. Cheers to that!
