“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.”

Thanks for showing such thoughtful interest Pete. I'll leave it a little longer before revealing the answers. Funny that of all these dozens of Scarce Earths wizards and Amazing Sites experts so few of them can show any evidence at all of what they profess to be their knowledge of the their geology! I mean they're marketing their wines on this presumption, but what do they really understand other than money?
