First I get the email from a winemaking friend telling me about the salesmen from Memstar North America hocking him a chinek about possible smoke taint from the California fires this year and a reminder that he can take care of it with the magic machine of reverse osmosis.
Then I see that Clark Smith sold Vinovation to a company called (drum roll) Wine Secrets.

And I thought there was a move towards transparency.
The machines are coming. And they are coming for you.

Search
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, feel free to contact me directly.
