Benjamin Franklin: Someone who did more for America than perhaps anybody else, Benjamin Franklin, frankly put, was a man of many talents. From Founding Father to author, from scientist to inventor, from diplomat to politician, Franklin is credited with helping establish the idea of America as an independent nation. Simply put, he may have invented the United States.
A man of immeasurable intelligence, Franklin knew a good thing when he saw it. From a wine lover’s standpoint, nothing attests to this notion more than his quote, “We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.”
Wine has touched the hearts and tongues of all kinds of people, those who enjoy it silently and those, like the above mentioned, who can’t help but say a mouthful.
