steven on his 40th birthday

wine secrets revealed.

how to make award-winning wine:

you will need:

1 recipe (on crumpled paper, handed down from generation to generation)

1 roll scotch tape (to hold it together)
some paperclips (also for holding together)
1 measuring tape (you know, to measure the fermentation progress)

if you're looking for a really nice gift for someone, might i suggest one of these:

whether your passion is data analysis or you simply enjoy pretty pictures of charts and graphs, these books contain some truly fascinating examples of stats-gone-visual. i'd lend you my copies but i don't own these yet - they were introduced to me at penland by one of my classmates, philip. but mark my words: the next time i have the luxury of owning a bookshelf, these will be placed centre-stage.
