I had a fun and very wide-ranging conversation this morning with @margueritevimbert about wine, spirituality, passion, creativity, altered states of consciousness and more. Check it out.

One of my favorite experiences in drinking will always be the sense of mystery that some wines possess. This unusual blend of Malvasia di Lipari and Carricante somehow transcends both grapes, with a synthesis that yields a unique character - marzipan, chamomile, Meyer lemon and candle wax layered over a wet cement minerality that lingers, vibrating with energy in the finish. The volcano speaks. Aging beautifully, but sadly this is my last bottle. 2013 Tenuta di Castellaro “Bianco Pomice” White Blend, Sicily, Italy.

Incredibly aromatic and bursting with licorice and boysenberry brightness, this wine is mouthwateringly juicy as sour cherry, licorice and dusty roads course across the palate. Incredible acidity and fantastic complexity without weight. Tiny production of ancient vines Zinfandel (planted 1880) is one of the best Zins I’ve had in years. 2018 Limerick Lane “Banfield Vineyard” Zinfandel, Russian River Valley, Sonoma, CA. The remains of a press sample.

Crunchy, snappy and bright. All strawberry and roiboos and red currant shot through with dried herbs and citrus peel and a faint saline note in the finish. Delicious. A portion fermented carbonic in an egg, some whole cluster and some destemmed. All old wood. 2019 Rootdown Cellars “St. Amant Vineyard” Trousseau, Amador, CA. @rootdownwines FTW.
