Right(eous) -On!!. Sounds like a winner (the movie, that is)-still not sold on Christianity and other murderous organized religions. But pais/angelica a good call. Last January, up in Amador I had Story vineyards 2019 Mission from their 120 year old vineyard. Darn good for $28, and one of the original Harbor Winery sources for their very cool wines from the 70's & 80's/. Down in Chile in 2019, we had some very fine old vine Pais down in Itata/Maule, too--Joel and yes you have shamed me into subscribing-- not worried about going to Heaven, however.
Ha ha, shaming folks into subscribing wasn't the intent, Joel - but no take-backs! (I'm not worried about going to Heaven, either :P) Story looks fantastic, just bookmarked them and thanks for sharing. Georgian wines on their list, too? What the what? I've been enjoying Chilean Pais and the rare Angelica here and there since I stumbled upon both a few years back and was shocked they were the same grape. Now I've started reading up on the history of pre-prohibition 1800's winemaking in Southern California and specifically Los Angeles (where I'm based, and apparently where Cali wine started before spreading beyond) and it's been super eye-opening. The education is endless!
Anywho, welcome aboard! I'm honored and maybe a teeny bit intimidated to have someone with your background shelling out money for this work-in-progress, but we've got some very cool stuff planned for 2025, so hope you enjoy it, and "happy holidays" to ya ;)
The grape is undergoing such a renaissance these days, in all the countries it's grown in. You really can't go wrong though man, Angelica is like PX Sherry, it's truly in a class of lusciousnes all its own!
Dave,

I think I'll skip the movie then 😆 But the grape sounds interesting!
