"You could spend the rest of your life tasting wine and still not exhaust its variations, each bottle a little ecosystem of grapes and soils and weather, yeast and bacteria, barrels of wood from trees with their own soil and weather, the variables cross-multiplying until each glassful approaches a singularity, a moment in time on earth."
From the article "Dining with Robots," published in The American Scholar. (Also anthologized in Best American Science Writing of 2005.)
