On the wines that defy reason, and most certainly convention, from Mokelumne Glen Vineyards, where I spent my last few days in Lodi, perched in an upper room surrounded by grapevines and riverside oaks. Re https://caparoso.substack.com/p/story-of-a-california-vineyard-conjured

I just bought ten liters of box wine (for 19.2 cents a liter plus tax) that was “best by” April 2022. Good thing it’s the season for highly-spiced and well-sweetened mulled wine!

I am Bacchus, after all, and a long winter is coming.

Researching "cask wine" for a short story. Did you know the original 1964 design required you to cut off a corner of the bladder to pour the wine? And was based on a product used to transport battery acid! 😬🍷

One year ago at #TablasCreek we released our first-ever box of #wine: the Patelin de Tablas Rosé. I was hoping it would go fast and in my best-case scenario we'd sell out in a week. We sold out in 4 hours and I got to spend the next week replying to disappointed customers. So this year we made about 3x as many boxes.

Looks like maybe I underestimated. We released the new vintage this morning and have already sold 60% of the total we made. Bonkers.
