Danke. The film is “fun”, and in many ways a great example of what NOT to do when you adapt a real life event and dramatize it. This thing out Ron Howard’s Ron Howard. Do with that what you will.
Dave, thank you so much for the incredibly kind words! So much of my time is spent - lovingly so - in the darkness of cellars, and alone in the heat of vineyards. And then to come up to the light like Persephone, and hear that what I do brings happiness to people is a very moving thing.
You encapsulated very well my contention…Cab Franc is the grape that should be the household name, should be the very lithe 800-lbs gorilla! There is no grape more sensuous, more mysterious, more uncaring of my fanboi-dom, more sexy, more delicious, more food-friendly, more self-aware….more…more… As I wrote recently, if Cab Franc didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it, given its sui generis genius. From both of our lips to god’s ears…may the future hold so much more Cab Franc!
Cab franc, top tier. I still haven't seen this movie. maybe I won't. But, the essay was a great read as always.
