The dude's great. One of my favourite guys to visit and talk to in Cote d'Or.
Interesting how he touts 2006. His are quite successful, and I don't question the technical foundations of the comparison to 2010, but nevertheless I am still trying to fix that eyebrow back in place.

I finally met Levi when I was up for La Paulee. What a lovely fellow - a shame he doesn't come around these parts any more.
I started to listen to his podcast with David Schildknecht the other day and I kept thinking "this doesn't sound like David." then all of a sudden the pace of the conversation picked up and it sounded like David - then it slowed again and his voice dropped an octave. I didn't have time then to listen to the whole thing so not sure if the timing kept changing. Odd.
(My theory is the sound engineer listened to David and thought no he couldn't really sound like that, the tape must be playing too fast, better slow it down, no wait, Levi sounds strange, better speed it up, now that Schildknecht guy sounds strange, ooh wait...)

There was virtually no editing on the Schildknecht track, and definitely no speeding up or slowing down. That was David talking. It was fairly early in the morning, though.

Oh. I don't read that board, so I did not know it was Burgundy-heavy enough to be referred to by that moniker.

Except there are 2 Fourrier threads on their front page right now. So you must be talking about some other board.

The Fourrier inteview's very nice. Jean-Marie is appealingly thoughful, and Levi has a surprisingly good radio voice. Listening to Jean-Marie talk about 2006, I had to think of you, Claude.

Sorry I don't believe it. But i am not suggesting it was edited only that it sounds like the speed of the playback varied. David's voice isn't that low pitched. At first it sounded much lower pitched than usual and as if he were speaking at a normal pace. Then it sped up to his normal pace and became higher pitched.
And fourrier is discussed much frequently than i like on wb.

Wine Berserkers - can't miss it.
Just listened to the Texier interview driving back from Charlottesville. Really great, so thoughtful, and his focus on the soil is engaging. Not simply the usual terroir stuff, but the soil as the source of healthy grapes.
Re: Fourrier, is the capture of CO2 in the bottled wine, where it acts as an anti-oxidant, achieved just by timing, by bottling before the malolactic fermentation CO2 is exchanged away through the barrel?

I met Levi at the Rieslingfeier and spoke with him again at the Paulee and, for once Maureen, we agree.

Levi,
I very much enjoyed the "interview" of David. I was buying wine from David in DC during a lot of the time he was talking about. I was really not aware that he had just found out about some of the wine he was selling to me. I thought he was an expert on all this stuff, even at that time. Anyway, he steered me right.
I put "interview" in quotes because it seemed much more like a monologue. All you had to do was wind David up and off he went. Too many people would have interrupted David just to keep control and you did a great job of letting David be David.

Sasha, it was great meeting you also at the Rieslingfeier and Paulee. However, you and Amy cost me money by praising Magnien so highly.

Wait, Howard, we were trying to *save* you money on your Morey St Denis!
Doesn't always work out that way, does it?
Great meeting you as well.
