Greenlights, by Matthew McConaughey, is the perfect book to shake off the stupor of our shared year of unexpected pivots. As we crawl out of this season, we are gathering strength to be brave and take the hill, and McConaughey is all about going all in, but he wants us to stop and ask, 'What’s your hill?' first. Greenlights are about going and doing the thing, but they are also about timing and fate. Hearing about the author's path and passion will surprise and motivate you to take on your next challenge with wit and wisdom. This week, we are pairing Greenlights with a lovely rosé, the 2020 Birichino Vin Gris. Birichino means naughty or impish, which makes it a perfect rom-com match, and the exploits of Matthew himself make this an ideal choice. Rosé is also fitting because as this book shows us, a short-term experience can alter who you are for the rest of your life; rosé begins with black grapes that change forever when they undergo a short maceration or a quick press to become pink juice. Go read this book and sip a rosé…it might just change you.
