Three Wishes Vineyard

I am not yet wise, nor am I old, so I’ve had to borrow a few lines for an introduction to this blog site from someone who was. The classic Greek philosopher Epicurus, much loved in food and wine circles for his challenge to individuals to indulge in nature and its bounty, was believed to have summarized a three step path to happiness in life. He said to be truly happy, one must firstly chose a life of self sufficiency over one of accumulating wealth and power, with special emphasis on the pleasures that relatively simple things can bring in life...such as herbs, gardens...food, wine.... “The wealth required by nature is limited and easy to procure, but the wealth required by vain ideals extends to infinity”. Secondly, he said an individual should try to surround themselves with loved ones and close friends as much as is possible, and lastly one must have regular time out for quiet self contemplation and philosophy.
