If you're not into wine so much, you might find this particular blog boring.
Hey, I can't be exciting to everyone all the time - just most of the time.
Turley is a small family run winery that makes 28 wines from some of the best vineyards in Northern and Central California. They are most known for their old vine Zinfandels, but also produce excellent Petite Syrah. The best part is that they sell all of this incredible wine at extremely reasonable prices.
The worst part is that production is very small and you have to get on their mailing list to get the wines.
And, of course, there is a long wait before you actually get on the list and get the opportunity to buy the wines.
In a recent interview, Christina Turley shared some of her thoughts about wine and the wine industry.
Here's an excerpt (one of my favorite parts) where she discusses alcohol levels:
A 12% abv wine is not intrinsically better than one at 15%; that's drinking by the numbers. I believe the goal should be truth—what is the truest expression of this grape variety, this vineyard? It might mean slightly different things to different people, but that's part of the beauty of winemaking; regardless, I believe the pursuit of truth is a much more admirable undertaking.
