My Son, expand thy wine cellar. Nothing like buying a vintage you can't drink for 30 years, and won't be able to taste properly in 30 years, anyway.
Seriously, maybe 10% wine, but for a quest/ enlightening experience... Do what cannot/ dare not be done. Don't buy into the program- Vegas is great, but do that once a year for fun. Go off the beaten track, while it still exists. Some experiences from the recent past can never be lived again. The thrill of discovery is now the province of heavily funded university programs or drug companies. You can no longer raise an army and exert your will over the known world, without Dick Cheney's say so.
Had I money, and courage, I would be:
A chef, who cooked to please himself, and a small lunch crowd. No TV show.
Or, a storyteller, who travelled the world learning histories and fables from different cultures, many of which may become extinct in the not to distant future. And then, tell children in Africa how Qu'Appel valley got it's name, and return the favour here, with stories of lions and sciroccos.
Sadly, I'm still working for the man. Volunteer with kids. There is no better reward.
