Oh Yes now your talking 237SJ Chilean Carmenere. Discovered that two years ago, since then SA Pinotage doesn't get a look in.
Drinking at home is good, but drinking it as escapism, well water would have to be involved. Perhaps sipping it in a boat, idling along a river with your fingers hanging into the water on a warm summers evening. Too cold for that that now, so will have to daydream and imagine it, in front of a blazing fire.
Non alcholic escapism, finding somewhere beautiful and quiet, just sitting being peaceful and taking in your surroundings, on top of a mountain, by a lake. Sorry nothing strange there.
