In Celebration… Sippin' on Top of the World ...Toasting Good Times and Better Days

May 2009, Sippin' on Top of the World comes into the world opening a new chapter for WineSpirit. Totally re-crafted Sips of WineSpirit will engage the wine sipping reader with stories, anecdotes and reflections and questions for enhancing toasts and inviting conversation with friends and family over a glass of wine.

Sippin' breaks down barriers. ..to wine and spirituality. In Sippin' you glean lessons from the vineyard, generate toasts for good times and better days, savoring life's blessings, finding spirituality in the details of the day… with the take away: harvests of wisdom from the ages in sharing stories with one another.

Sippin' provides a break from the pressures of the day with refreshing perspectives on who and what matters most, at the end of a day, as you kick back and relax with a glass of wine and engage the book. Sippin' taps into spirituality's presence in the ordinary fabric of daily life associated with blessings inherent in wine, its storied past, and its special function in celebrating life today and every day.

Enjoy Sippin', now and again, and muse, each time you do, about questions such as these:

REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR SIPPIN’:

  1. What is special about relaxing at the end of the day with a glass of wine and/or…?
  2. What comes to mind of a spiritual moment, embedded in a detail of your day, and what enabled you to notice it?
  3. In difficult times, how important is it to find time to unwind, and how do you do so?
  4. (Raise your own question… as you will be invited to do with each Sip in the book)
