Mid-September 2024 I met Marc Berna in the Ahn Vogelsang vineyard in glorious weather. The winegrower proudly showed me his clusters of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, as fresh as daisies, glistening in the sun and showing no sign of rot.He was looking forward to the imminent harvest, hoping for good weather.

I am a wine mom in that I’m a winegrower and I can attest to the truth of the below state of play.
A LOT of liberal wine moms watched Roe go down and now thirst for the taste of GOP blood and flesh in their hungry jaws.
NO demographic is more willing to rip a screeching GOP white man apart limb-from-limb as he pisses himself in terror.
We must do everything we can to unite with them.

The cooperative movement was a noble ideal, sharing of resources, solidarity, all that. But it divorced the winegrower from the reality of wine, and the market. The majority are nice ordinary farmers doing ther job. But allow themselves to be wound up by the rhetoric of few rabble rousers.

Many years ago, I met an Italian winegrower who was just like that. After tasting his excellent wines, he showed us a large number of his photographs that were good, artistic (imho), but almost exclusively showing young women with minimal, if any, clothing in natural landscapes.
