These days I am reading the series on wine that promotes Natural Cory Cartwright on his blog Saignée to celebrate two years of life and the miracle of fermentation.
Natural Wine 32 days meets the view of critics, dealers, wine lovers, writers and educators and this creates a collection of valuable content around the culture of wine and there are questions about the natural wine.
Most of the writers are merchants, so the sights are set on the ways to achieve this "minority" achieve a sustainable economic scale, ie how to maintain an idiosyncratic craftsmanship, robust and pursuit of quality living and time to live it.
But in reality, and safe from leaks deforming think what they're talking about is a way of life. People who are writing 32 days of natural wine are describing a sensitivity resistant, questioning, jodona with huge doses of humor, iconoclast, who enjoys life to say enough is enough and calls for the drinking age to come down to the 16 years.
Joe Dressner makes a boast of this in the 14 points for a Natural Wine Official Manifesto . Reading it is willing to reírese of self and constant temptation of grandstanding. Among its hot spots are declaring the taste to be and remain marginal, the seriousness and hate can not live without humor, flatly reject being presumptuous and shout from the rooftops "liberté, fraternité et copinage" an invention of palabro I subscribe.
To show that is a man who is always in the front row, he throws himself under the wheels of your own car wondering who invested him as spokesman for the Movement of Natural Wine and answer "me, me, me ..." And it shows a kind concerned about what happens in the world and has not fallen into your navel thing that this Manifesto points of special way.
My other favorite is being Thor Iverson to question what might be the ways today to settle a class of wine and warns that if the natural wine is in the process of being successful alternative to the wine industry may fall in their own redundancy. And he says, as if plotted with Dressner, who after having been for days in Paris, from bar to bar, proving it under the sun without having to repeat, his feeling was that of ennui, boredom.
What dangers detects Thor? The ghettoization, staying confirmed among equals and not realize that, at least in large cities where everything is at hand, stay away can be harmful. This reminded me of what we wrote here after Naturala Vinis 2.
The natural wine should remove self-imposed yoke he says. Need a total commitment to the wine market as a corollary that will bring a total commitment to the marketplace of ideas.
The saga continues. Manuel Camblor speaks with his usual impetus and effervescence of why it is natural for a guy like him, always aligned with "marginal" and "minority", like on all of these wines and defend them tooth and sword. And also has her first time with Laureano Serres . It is the only time that "serres" appears in this conversation.
But it will not be the sole representative of the natural wine movement in Spain that will appear here. Alice Feiring was delighted with the wines of Jordi Sanfeliu and is likely to talk about it for this collection of articles. To me George deserves a separate post which I will give only the title: força tranquil.la.
Why bring this conversation to tell from the anglomundo, which by the way and except that I give you this information, it appears that the French natural wine only?
Because I was starting to bore myself and vernacular discussion, contained in the self-reference, the presumptuousness and fall into a deep navel and comfortable so that clouds. Obama proposes to do as we read, from time to time, something that cost us, which we disagree, but we recognize that raising, information, quality and above all huge doses of humor.
