Thorntree

Thorntree. South African merlot 20o3. From the beautiful label:

The "umbrellas" of the veld, starkly sihouetted against the breathtakingly beautiful African susnet, is a memory etched in the mind of many a traveller. The Umbrella Thorn (Acacia Tortillis - from the Greek word "acantha" meaning thorn) provides shade and shelter to both man and beast, all year round.

The words are beautiful. The wine is beautiful. $8.99. A bazillion stars.

Cousin,

The glass in the photo is the one I bought for you.
