Angels, Thieves, and Winemakers
"Angels, Thieves, and Winemakers is a collection of revelations, truths to be found in and about wine. Witty, mordant, melancholy, funny—these bright poems fix and illumine the many moods we may encounter in a bottle of happy red. I shall recommend this volume most heartedly, saying, 'Here, I think this / will help make things a little better.' "— Fred Chappell
Aging
To speak of a wine’s future is to speak of our own desires, how we hope as we age that we’ll become more harmonious, less acidic, that our tannins will mellow. We recognize right now we have a burst of flavor, an energy, a liveliness, but also a harshness which later may soften until we’re more balanced, more approachable, easier to appreciate. Hold onto us we believe we'll get better.
