I have been invited to present at the 81st Annual Meeting of the Southwestern Philosophical Society In November on the topic Philosophy of Wine. As I begin to sift through this enormous subject, my mind is drawn to the famous quote, “in vino veritas.” Although it’s believed the quote is referencing the more wine one consumes the more personal truth one shares, I believe wine reveals a wide array of truths. These include historical, religious, social, and cultural truths, along with truths about location, climate, weather, human intervention, and personal interpretation. For example, this 2017 @louislatour1797 Les Pierres Dorées Pinot Noir represents an array of truths. This new project is crafted from 44 acres of vines in Beaujolais’ Golden Stones region, revealing bright fresh-picked berries, violets, soft tea notes, spice, and a hint of trailing cola. It’s fruit-forward, lively, and balanced. This one wine offers truths of history, religion, culture, regulations, vintage, climate, weather, and even personal truths of the vineyard manager, winemaker, and me. What truths does wine reveal to you? 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 #invinoveritas #winephilosophy #winetasting #winemaking #youcansipwithus #winewisdom #wineweekend #pinotnoir #bourgogne #burgundy #louislatour #womenwholovewine #winewriter #wineonmytime #winelife
