VINE LINES — No matter what happens, my glass is always half full

It’s said that all good things must come to an end.

And it is with a heavy heart I tell you this is the last edition of Vine Lines in The Brandon Sun.

“The times, they are a changin’,” wrote Bob Dylan, and that’s exactly what’s happening here. After careful consideration of the results of the most recent readership survey, Sun management has decided that, after an almost 12-year run and close to 600 columns, it’s time for Vine Lines to say farewell.

To say I’ve enjoyed my time as “the wine lady,” as tons of people have flatteringly and affectionately called me over the last dozen years, would be a massive understatement. I’ve loved every minute of writing this column. And I’m humbled by the hundreds of responses I’ve received, by email and through Twitter, from all over southwestern Manitoba, all across the country and from California and Washington state as well.
