Why are you so into pinot?
I mean, it's like a thing with you.
Uh... I don't know. I don't know.
Um... it's a hard grape to grow.
As you know. Right?
It's, uh... It's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early.
It's... You know, it's not a survivor like cabernet...
which can just grow anywhere...
and thrive even when it's neglected.
No, pinot needs constant care and attention.
You know? And, in fact, it can only grow...
in these really specific, little tucked-away corners of the world.
And, And only the most patient and
nurturing of growers can do it, really.
Only somebody who really takes the time...
to understand pinot's potential...
can then coax it into its fullest expression. And then? I mean...
Oh, its flavours, they're just the most haunting and brilliant and...
thrilling and subtle and... ancient on the planet.
No, I mean, you know, cabernets can be powerful and exalting too...
but they seem prosaic to me, for some reason, by comparison.
I don't know. I don't know.
What about you?
What about me?
I don't know. Why are you into wine?
Oh, I... I think I...
I originally got into wine through my ex-husband.
You know, he had this big sort of show-off cellar.
- You know? - Right.
But then I discovered that I had a really sharp palate.
And the more I drank the more I liked what it made me think about.
Like what?
Like what a fraud he was.
No, I mean, I like to think about the life of wine.
Yeah.
