One of the gems who I met through Joe. That group, was a hard one, even with Joe as the guiding hand that delivered me. Notably Chris and Lisa (and Joe Dougherty) were always lovely to me, a kindness I never forgot. And as Eric said, une plume unique. Very sad news.

Anyone out there who knows about this? I've heard vague whisperings but wonder if anyone has actually tasted any wines made with this technology, called a 'probiotic' approach to wine preservation. http://www.harringtonwine.com/terrane-no-sulfite-wine/no-sulfur-story/

and, that means Balthazar loses some of his best vines?

I met Joe was probably the day I met Dressner or the day after. A little fuzzy. It was 2001. There were wines open at the Spring/Lafayette office, what’s his name from Connecticut was there, the wine shop. There were others, maybe about seven. Manuel, Chris. perhaps Brad. There were other...

Chris, that picture is one of the best.

If there ever was the absolutely perfect pitch way to memorialize (the incomprehensible) a remarkable man, this is it.

Every writer needs an editor........ let me try to translate that The study only POSES the question: if you do side by side fermentations is the native UNDULY influenced?

Did someone ask for the original thesis? I have it. There's so much wrong with this study--such as side by side fermentations--three against one native---on top of the sulfuring all the batches to 40ppm --enough to knock out too much of the yeast population in the native---which is being ganged...

I appreciate being left out of the water boarding. Eric, never indicated Chauvet bottled unsulfured, just going on Neauport's reportage. (and of course yours too)

Gregory Perez aka Mengoba---if you can get hold of the Estaladina, you'll be very happy. Oldest Godello you can find too--won't disappoint.

What did I do now? I am hoping that's the last clarification I ever write. If you haven't seen the video attached to the piece.......http://on.aol.com/video/what-is-natural-wine--and-does-it-taste-any-good--517844077 And yes, Keith did one of the best.

It took this thread for me to realize that that guy's site wasn't like the Hosemaster. How did you even find that guy's site, GG?

The big question I have is whether the 'authorities' are going to even bother looking for the perps. Montalcino might as well be Palermo.

Went to La Table Vert. Wanted to love it. Sadly not. A little depressing. Vanilla in the beets, never my thing. Was a little surprised that they had no bread, crackers. Soup, (hmm...what was it? Can't remember. Pleasant enough). Needed some sophistication. The root salad had things on it that...

Stink bomb. Reduced to non-exquisite pain. The trousseau, on the other hand, was actually beautiful.
