Way to leave us hanging on the edge for the next installment. This show brought back memories of seeing the dreaded “To be Continued…” hanger on your favorite sitcom, sentencing you to long week of speculative guesswork as to whether or not the Skipper found a way off the island.

Hey look! Joe’s Here!

Pisoni wines are unique for California no one would deny. I tasted the very first wine from the Pisoni clone with Gary and his cousin Loren in Gary’s barn. That wine was rich but still in a lighter style than most of todays versions of those grapes. I have enjoyed each vintage and each of the different winemakers interpretations. But as far as Joe’s thin disquise for Burgundian elitism, Burgundy does have the advantage of all older growing areas the right to claim respect due to experience. One should respect the experience of centuries of harvests, but that doesn’t mean that style is superior only different amongst many styles past and styles future.
