FIVE SHOOTER
In a reaction to the unfortunate marketing patter, misinformation and stream of useless myth making offered by winemaking contemporaries Manfred sought to “SHOOT FIVE” of these distortions of truth in wine marketing. They are:
“Yes we are growing fruit in a very hot area, but we have such huge diurnal temperature swings that it balances out and that way we also preserve acidity.”
“Old vines always make better wine than young vines.”
“Our soil is 600 million years old.”
Our vineyard is so great because we have such wonderfully well-drained soils.”
“Terroir”
Each of these supposed marketing gems are in the words of Manfred, “…gibberish masquerading as some sort of implied quality marker.” California, in a wine making context is by extension an unencumbered land free of hand-me-down traditions, where the intellect is freed of bureaucratic constraints and the “ART of winemaking” is permitted express itself. Therefore to counterbalance the rather “uncharacteristically vitriolic” tone of this offering Manfred chose to juxtapose a double entendre of meaning with images of naked bodies to adorn his dual offering. Each wine is a cuvée of five varietals.
