If you’re a true wine geek, then you know about the Jura. When I lived in New York, you couldn’t go to an “Offline” (translated into human: a wine geek gathering) without seeing a boatload of bottles from the Jura; some Arbois, some Vin Jaune, etc.

Wink Lorch, the scribe of Jura Wine scribes, is writing THE BOOK about the region and has started a Kickstarter campaign. To be honest, it’s already met its funding goal. So why support it then?

Simple.

Fame.

All Kickstarter backers will be acknowledged in the book. Yes, you too can have a piece of eternal wine geek history!

What are you waiting for?!

Wine of the Week: Château Pierre-Bise Anjou 2008 Having opened several highly oxidized white wines this week I was getting a little gun-shy. Happily this wine was in perfect condition and drinking really well right now. It definitely pushes all my buttons: restrained but flavorful, elegant, natural and amazingly inexpensive.
