Years of Participation
The truth about winemaking though, is that it embodies and emboldens all of your senses, and while it’s invigorating to smell and taste a vintage, and even see the color expressed as a rosy prism before you, to be able to hear the wind inside your head, and remember the smell of what the previous year’s precipitation promised, is when it becomes a form of synesthetic life support.
Just like my life, I wish for my wines to be received in poetic form, and not to have their entrails spread apart on a surgical table. There is pain and suffering, there is joy, chaos, recklessness at times, but more than anything, a quiet optimism that every day of our time here is yet another opportunity to experience something beautiful.
