Definitely enjoyed this, although I do also enjoy some of Abe's last couple of vintages. Had a hard time with it a few years ago (so, 4-5 vintages ago), but am enjoying some of his newer wines.<br /><br />But yes, I imagine he'd actually appreciate this as well. At least I'd hope so. He's quite nice and interesting in person. If I should happen to see him in person again I'll have to ask if he's read this :)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911398647505242281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-77633834009663059612017-06-19T21:20:47.452-07:002017-06-19T21:20:47.452-07:00"Missing Link" here.

And the original March 2009 published URL does not work. That's so unnatural for the paper.)<br /><br />From WSJ [Wall Street Journal] magazine<br />(March 5, 2009, Page 24ff): <br /><br />"Barrel Fever;<br />Dionysus was the Greek god of wine, ecstasy -- and madness.<br />Abe Schoener, philosophy professor-turned-vintner, knows something about that." <br /><br />Link: http://archive.is/20140416053325/magazine.wsj.com/hunter/second-chapter/from-philosopher-to-vintner/<br /><br />By Alice Feiring<br /><br />[I will add this one small text excerpt that underscores Abe's photo:<br /><br />"On my visit to his house in Napa, he pours some wine into his glass from one of the outsize laboratory decanters littering his kitchen table. It is his San Floriano del Collio, a pinot grigio. Now, pinot grigio is usually a white wine, but Schoener’s is the color of cherry juice. This is because he has fermented it on its red-hued skins for weeks, a red-wine technique."]Bob Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099196210297757292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-5701400339308354712017-06-19T16:37:58.624-07:002017-06-19T16:37:58.624-07:00Sorry, treatise.

Oh, snap!<br /><br />Ziggy,<br />I'm nothing if not unmemorable. I didn't remember writing it either, but I do remember The Linoleum Project. I actually sort of like the tone of this piece. I imagined it as an Abe Schoener kind of winery newsletter.
