Maturity is like wine.
For there is to be wine, there first must be a creator with a fierce commitment—an artist with the sensitivity to pay attention to all of the details. Over time, with patience, what was once sugar juice - the choice drink of children - transforms into a substance that must be received respectfully and with honor (no boxes or straws allowed).
Wine is the testimony of its vintage—a record of traumas, stressors, and blessings. The elements of nature and seasons work together to encode a taste that gets time-stamped through fermentation. The testimony of victory engages the senses through fragrance and flavor. The bitter and the sweet become the witness; wordless stories received in a sip.
