It is with great sadness that I report that I though I am headed to JFK, I am not on the way to Deauville for the 9th Dive Bouteille, a crazy and wild tasting if there ever was one.
Last years did not have the energy of previous versions, (even though Thierry Puzelat did show up with a black eye). However, the two day affair (previously just one day) was a testament to how if you put enough living wine in a tinny hangar, a sterile environment gets dynamized.
The below video documents the 6th (and freezing) version of the tasting, held at the caves (did I say frigid?)of Domaine Fillatreau.

I'm hunting the Leon Trotskys, the Philip Roths, the Chaucers and the Edith Whartons of the wine world. I want them natural and most of all, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue. With this messiah thing going on, I'm trying to swell the ranks of those who crave the differences in each vintage, celebrate nuance and desire wines that make them think, laugh, and feel. Welcome.
And, if you'd like a signed copy of either THE BATTLE FOR WINE AND LOVE OR HOW I SAVED THE WORLD FROM PARKERIZATION or NAKED WINE, feel free to contact me directly.
