Wines that Make you Work: Welcoming the Complexity and the Unexpected in Wine
Wines that Make you Work: Welcoming Complexity and the Unexpected in Wine
Ed Sheeran or John Coltrane? The Hunger Games or Infinite Jest? The Fast & The Furious or Citizen Kane? Sometimes we are in the mood for some easy listening, light reading, or a cinematic romp. Other times we want to grapple with the weighty, the weird, the complex. We all love wines that are approachable, but what about the ones that make us work?
It's far too easy these days to get a quick dopamine hit. But we can seek out art that requires our sustained attention, confounds us, and challenges us. Wines that make us work offer rich rewards. Let’s explore some of them together.
What we’re reading: Excerpts from the NY Times: The Interview - Digital Drugs Have Us Hooked. Dr. Anna Lembke Sees a Way Out; The Accidental Connoisseur: An Irreverent Journey Through the Wine World, by Lawrence Osborne.
Wines we’re tasting: Edgy wines, angular wines, wines with untraditional noses and palates.
