“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.”

YEARLINGS TO PLAY VALE CRU ON PIAZZA




DRINKSTER can think of nothing better than sippin with The Yearlings when they play at Vale Cru's twilight tasting on the Piazza delle Vale on Sunday 15th.  (The new piazza's in the main street of McLaren Vale, opposite Blessed Cheese and Fall From Grace.) 

The Yearlings, the favourite troubadours of The Vales (they live here) are just back from their US tour with heaps of new stuff.  Laura Jackson photographed them on Seaford Heights; the Yangarra winery shot is by Milton Wordley. Their music will be a vast improvement on the geology speech made at the first Vale Cru show at The Victory! 

Hit the Vale Cru website  for details and tickets. Whitey's rock sermon photographed by James Hook of Lazy Ballerina. Andrew Jefford must be in there somewhere ...
