The Next Big Thing? Everyone in the wine world is always recreating themselves. This is particularly true on the cutting edge where every form of extreme viticulture or winemaking becomes stale when a new generation goes one step further. Louis/Dressner used to be cutting edge, years ago, but now we're as old hat as barrel-aged Chardonnay. I've heard rumors about the latest new thing and I'm hesitant to get involved. Apparently, there are winemakers playing around with using organic material and compost from dead human beings to enrich and develop their terroir. Will this be the next big thing? Sounds sort of creepy, but stranger things have worked. But I'm remaining cautious until I do a definitive tasting of wines raised in dead human matter. I hear some of our younger competitors are already jumping on the bandwagon.
It's not even April 1 or October 31!!
so long mr. dresser! we're off to see the people!
