“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

NEW ARRIVALS AT MAYNARD'S CADUCEUS


EXCLUSIVE VINTAGE REPORT: 

DATELINE CADUCEUS CELLARS, AZ.:

"We're 50 tons in already," reports winemaker Maynard James Keenan. "Did about 100 last year but that was all the way into October. No late Spring frost combined with a warm late winter moved vintage up a bit. Combine that with my recent acquisition and extensive restructuring of the Buhl Memorial Vineyard I retained in my Arizona Stronghold divorce, you have some solid early fruit. Example: Grenache, Merlot, Tempranillo, and Syrah all arriving in phenolic harmony at roughly 24.5 Brix, 3.45 pH, 0.70 TA. Gorgeous fruit. It's gonna be a fantastic vintage." 


DRINKSTER wishes the three Keenans (including a very fresh but modestly shy Lei Li Agostina Maria) the best vintage and a grand, happy, healthy life together! ... photos Maynard James Keenan
