| Call us crazy, but pictures like this make us understand why so many people rushed to the West Coast of the United States, risking everything on the off chance that they might discover gold in the hills. We understand, after all, we have abandoned reason and careers ourselves in the name of a good glass of wine, so the whole "going to extremes" thing sounds like a feasible plan. The folks who rushed west must have seen a picture like this too. With this picture comes the promise of an abundance of delicious, well balanced, and shockingly affordable wine. Too good to be true? Maybe, but you don't know the half of it. This juice comes from 200 acres of organically farmed land in Mendocino, so not only will the wine make you happy, it also helps to make all of the plants, animals, trees, and bugs that make up the remarkable ecosystem in which it grows happy too. Oh yeah, we almost forgot, the wine that first attracted us to Girasole, the wine that one of our most trusted sources called "clean...well integrated...(and) of appealing harmony", the wine that seduced us when we enjoyed it for the first time, is a terrific, organically grown Pinot Noir that runs about $15 on the shelf! Yeah, we must be crazy. This all sounds too good to be true. Its probably just a dream. But then, we think these wines show that there actually is gold in them hills. You just have to know how to farm for it. |
