A Substantial Tale
I was talking to a good friend of mine over the weekend, Joe Wadsack, who happens to be a journalist. He writes about food, wine and other aspects of social culture. Joe reminded me of a story I wrote a while back saying that for him, it was by far the best press release he had ever received and that it should be posted on the Camden Park blog. Here it is:
We like to say that everything about Camden Park is substantial. So big in fact, that you’ll need 2 hands to drink it.
Our inspiration was taken from the uncompromising scientist, Stephen Hawking. In his famous book “A Brief History of Time” published in 1988, he introduces his work with a story which gives an analogy as to the massiveness of the cosmos and it goes like this:
A well known scientist (some say it was Bertram Russell) once gave a public lecture on Astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said “What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a gigantic Turtle.”
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying “What is the Turtle standing on?”.
“You’re a very clever young man, very clever” said the old lady “but it’s Turtles all the way down”.
We like this, it makes sense to us.
Bigness is what Camden Park is all about. There’s no place left for the insubstantial.
From our well hung bull, to the heavy weight bottle, and, of course, the wine itself, Camden Park defines what “Big” is all about.
Thanks for the reminder, Joe.
