Why I love wine..


From the film “ SIDEWAYS “

MAYA
Why are you so into Pinot? It's like a thing with you…..

MILES
I don't know. It's a hard grape to grow. As you know. It's thin-skinned,temperamental, ripens early. It's not a survivor like Cabernet that can grow anywhere and thrive even when neglected. Pinot needs constant care and attention and in fact can only grow in specific little tucked-away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing growers can do it really, can tap into Pinot's most fragile, delicate qualities.Only when someone has taken the time to truly understand its potential can Pinot be coaxed into its fullest expression.
And when that happens,its flavors are the most haunting and brilliant, subtle and thrilling ..and ancient on the planet.
