Someone walked into the store yesterday and wanted to get a bottle for a friend who was turning 40. I helped him pick something out and as I was ringing up the sale, it suddenly dawned on me that I’ll soon be picking out something for my own 40th birthday. Sure, not for several more years (well, a couple more years, but a little denial isn’t such a bad thing), but soon enough that I should probably start drawing up my wine list.
