Snowy vineyard contemplation during the break from viticulture.

I love my walk to the grocery store. Only 24 days left in this surreal life before the next one. #Montpellier #Vinifera

Ever seen a white, fuzzy leaf or a red leaf in the spring? In the case of grapevines and many other plants they are ways to protect delicate photosynthetic machinery in developing leaves from being destroyed. Now you know! (from The Science of Grapevines - Anatomy and Physiology by Markus Keller)

Ethel and Chester, my little friends from Côte Rôtie, are fully through budburst after a lot of love and sunshine. Learning viticulture while sleeping next to these little syrah vines is definitely helping me understand physiology on a whole new level. #Vinifera #syrahobsessed #viticulture

Starting with some pretty deep enology of tannins today. Feels good learning how to make less astringent wine for those future customers. #Vinifera #enology #winemaking

Walked into a pub in East London tonight. Ordered a pint. Asked the bartender a question about the beer. Found out it was brewed in the cellar below. The brewers happened to be on the stools next to me. We began to chat. Got to check out the operation. Five pints later... Best friends! #londonbeer #onemileendbeer #yummers

El Brujo is alive and well in Germany. The syrah magic (laced with malbec, cabernet, and counoise) is evolving into a peppery, juicy, black abyss of satisfying richness with herbal undercurrents. @wagonways #syrahobsessed #washingtonwine #wallawalla #wineexperiments (at Mörstadt Weingut Hess)
