Connecting One to Fundamental Things
“The food of the great chefs is a painstakingly thoughtful and radically imaginative distillation of centuries of technique and training upon which the empires of millennia-past forged the most enduring portion of their legacy. While these chefs, or at least the product of their intellect and emotion, spread as some comestible

The indescribable sexiness of great Cabernet Franc reaches its apotheosis when paired with the most gorgeously transformed lamb; the lamb, too, reaches levels of becoming way beyond the significant inputs of and entanglements with great wine only. The web and its individual strands, grand cuisine and ethereal wine, communicate with each other, make synergies beyond the ken of human intellect, to reveal an ecology of taste and experience that connect one to fundamental things.” – Lineage: Life and Love and Six Generations in California Wine
