Cooperative

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

I learned something last week. There are cooperatives that make wine. This means that several small vineyards all put in their grapes to produce wine together. This seems to be pretty common.

Les Vignerons D’Estezargues is a Southern Rhone cooperative of ten vineyards. What sets them apart is that instead of putting all their grapes in to one batch. They select the best grapes for special cuvees and use the remainder in their lower end wine. All the wines are made with care and made with natural processes.

Ball Dropping

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

I’ve really dropped the ball here. I stopped updating for two months. My only excuse is that I got married and I have been busy with married life.

I have a tendency to do things all or nothing. I’m talking about this site, not my marriage.

What I’m going to do from this point on is update when I feel like it. When things feel like an obligation or a job then it ceases to be fun. Plus when my video camera broke I couldn’t do videos anymore.

So, I will be updating soon.
