The Art of Wine

After a day in Sonoma Valley, California, I'm willing to concede that the growth and creation of wine is at least as much art as it is science.

I'm not much of a wine drinker, and yet I found myself getting excited over the chance to taste wines at three different wineries. One of my favorites was the Kunde Estate Wineries, as much for the chance to view different varieties of grapes on a trellis system, and to tour their Aging caves, as it was to taste their wines.

In these wineries, I found a reverence for the earth, a craftsmanship in their process, and a commitment to quality that does seem to make this an artistic process.

I'm looking forward to a return visit.
