1984/Brave New World & H to H Macon Villages
As we gear up toward the end of the year, I haven't been able to spend as much time writing as I'd like. There are only a few more pairings left this year, but instead of finding it easier to document each pairing, I'm finding it harder. You'd think my Psychology degree would help explain it... but a large part of me thinks it's just the combination of exhaustion and the ever-increasing to-do list.
But, in a rare burst of energy, I decided to do a double feature!
Pairing: 1984 by George Orwell and Homage to Heritage Macon Villages Chardonnay and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
It's the decades old debate: which fate are we heading towards as a society, the bleak, fear-inducing wartime in Orwell's 1984 or the drugged and clueless whitewash of Huxley's Brave New World?
Either way, it seems clear that humans are not meant to be numbers on a page or unquestioning cows in a line. Eventually, some will fight back with a simple idea: where someone comes from, and their personal identity, and their feelings and thoughts... that is what's important and makes a society function.
This wine is a tribute to that idea. Homage to Heritage wines know that where you come from means everything. What you're made of- in the case of this Chardonnay, a nutty and lightly fruity flavor- is uniquely formed by your background. While you choose which tunnel to dive down, bring this bottle along to remind you of where you are, and where you've been.
Neither of these novels end on a particularly happy note, but with plenty to ponder. Pour yourself another glass of H to H Chardonnay so you can sit and think awhile.
