At the risk of sounding "catty," I have to bemoan the fact that many women do not like to age gracefully in the California wine country. That may be true elsewhere, but it's really prevalent with the crowd that showed up yesterday for day one of a two-day wine harvest festival. I mean, these women were generally in good shape but the tight skirts "up to here" the tight tops "down to there," and the botox faces were just no competition for the fresh, young women who mingled in the same room. Why the obsession with looking like someone they can never be again? Why the obsession to hide the wisdom of life on their faces? Or to put it more bluntly, "honey, get real, you're just not 25 anymore."
France has at least one thing right. They allow their women to age gracefully, and indeed, celebrate the beauty of a mature woman. Come to think of it, they have pretty good wine, too.
