The spectrum of wine, from wild to industrial and back to reality.
April 21, 2008
Wild Vines grow in the wild, grapes begin to ferment (rot on the ground)
Natural Vines tended by humans, grapes ferment in human devised containers
Wine Humans plant and nurture vines, use human devised containers to assist fermentation
Parkerized Humans plant and fertilize vines, use containers and technology to manipulate grapes into wine
Industrial Workers plant and maximize output of vines, use whatever inputs necessary to efficiently create a product marketed as wine
Read more about our philosophy, perspective, and perhaps grasp on reality here.
Inspired by Alice Feiring's writing on Japan and Natural Wine
