Humans are hard-wired to pay way more attention to bad news than good. We process negative news faster and more thoroughly than positive and it affects us longer.
Bad news also sells better than good news. So when you hear global headlines that threaten the status of the US as an economic and military Super Power, remember that half-empty glass is also half-full:
Post-recession growth has been slow but sustainable ...
with a financial system based in law that invites the more outside capital investment than any other country in the world.
The US is the world's most popular destination for immigrants ...
positioning the US better than any other country to offset demographic aging trends.
The US's alliance system is exceptional ...
our military has kept bases in foreign countries for decades at the request of the hosts, placing the US in our adversaries' neighborhoods, not the other way around.
Still unsure about what wine to drink or serve with your entrée?
Three simple rules:
drink what you like
look for balance
match the most prominent element in the dish
The taste of wine should be enhanced with the flavor of the food and vice versa. When the right tastes come together, it makes such a HUGE difference in enjoying all the flavors.
Don’t forget…you can always ask the sommelier at the restaurant or the expert at the wine store. Cheers!
