“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.”

DEOLOGY - BLANCHE POINT FORMATION

Supreme leader Kim Jong-un brought a delegation to examine the excellent fossiliferous limestone of McLaren Vale's Blanche Point Formation this week, only to gaze up at the Willunga Escarpment and ask why we haven't finished mapping the Kurrajong before any more of it falls on us. They had a quick lunch in Blanche Point in the tunnel under Maxwell's Wines, after which everything went back to mushroom farming while we wait for the vine roots to come through the ceiling. 

Same sort of stuff in Coonawarra ... this photo Milton Wordley

... not to make too big a white point of it but here's the clay loading on top of the Maslin Beach version, but that's been covered beneath a layer of rich ferruginous loam ... French nuclear sub steams past Cliffs Blanc duh Maslin:

... somebody's gotta get Supreme Leader to use his Blanche Point Formation for making real smart wines that pop intercontinentally, happily,  filling capitalist enemy with supreme Korea joy ... use them to invade China too ... just tossing round some design ideas in case The Depot wins the brief ... Make it nice and geologygy you know ... thinking of names while we die ... oops sorry in a manner of speaking dude
