The Monday Morning Memo

When you see a less-expensive, but hard-to-find wine from a vineyard known for high-end wines, that wine will usually be a second pressing. If a first pressing yields 100 gallons of juice, the second pressing will yield maybe 10, hence the “hard-to-find.” The characteristic of a second pressing is that it tastes “juicier” due to the crushed, green insides of the seeds and stems. “Mascot” is a blend of the second pressing of Promontory, BOND, and Harlan Estate. Likewise, “1858” from Caymus is probably a second pressing. Our buddy Tucker taught us this last week when he noticed our favorite red wines were almost always second pressings.

Random Quote:

“I maintain that fiction has no duty or obligation whatsoever except never to be boring—and even that is usually subjective. I’ve found that when a talented writer is operating with such wild poetic energy, such freedom from academic rules, social pressures, and normal expectations, that he or she is on the verge of losing control and crashing (like a daring downhill skier, for example), the resulting prose can be very nearly hallucinatory and absolutely exhilarating.”

- Tom Robbins, in an interview with François Happe (March, 2009)
