Going forward, it would be wise to reign in Dogma's wine expenditure for 2008.
Dogma's expectation for wine@2008 would be: Drink less, Higher quality.
After nearly 1 year of excessive wine drinking, Dogma now comes closer to his inner WineGod and slowly but steadily, beginning to understand the beauty of wine that he is searching for. Some of them are listed as follow:
1) Character: a wine with distinctive personality that makes Dogma thinks.
2) Purity+Elegance: a wine which is charmingly clean and noble.
3) Evolution: A wine that transform, going higher and higher in the glass.
Some noteworthy drinks of 2007:
