The Monday Morning Memo

Season 1, Episode 1

Start the music in the video window below and let it play while you read.
There aren’t any lyrics, so it will be easy to read while you listen. Go ahead. Start the music now. It’s only 98 seconds long.

I was beginning to think
that all red wine was just a variation on a theme, so I set out to find something new: different grapes, different styles of winemaking. Different assumptions, different outcomes.

The wine you’re hearing is Greek.
It’s called Zoe, a tree of life.
The grapes are 90% Aghiorghitiko
and 10% Cabernet.

I not going to give you a pretentious
“fruit forward with a hint of balsam” wine snob description. I’m a dog, remember? Dogs know how things really smell, but humans can’t relate to that. So I’m shooting for the common ground here; something we both do well: I’m going to tell you how this wine tastes musically.

Mostly high notes that twinkle… but with an ancient call underneath.  No baritone or bass, nothing down deep. Calm but full of energy. Lighthearted and brokenhearted at the same time. Just like this song.

Random Quote:

“Gerard Dulouz was born in 1917 a sickly little kid with a rheumatic heart and many other complications that made him ill for the most part of his life which ended in July 1926, when he was 9, and the nuns of St Louis de France Parochial School were at his bedside to take down his dying words because they'd heard his astonishing revelations of heaven delivered in catechism class on no more encouragement than that it was his turn to speak.”

- Jack Kerouac
