Wine and wineries do amazing things to people!

Did you know that Charles Dickens spent the equivalent of some $US18,000 a year on wine (from 1838 to 1844), and yet, during that same period he wrote eight novels including ‘Oliver Twist’, ‘Nicholas Nickleby’, and ‘A Christmas Carol’.

Amazing what wine can do hey?
