We're drinking Furlani's Macerato a 100% pinot gris pet nat from northern Italy and it is A MOOD. Big grapefruit rinds on the palate, earthy on the nose, the sunset color looks like cotton candy infused with DIAMONDS! The mood is introspective, bouncy pathos in the woods on a mountain. You're having fun, but you're reflecting (no spiraling); it feels easy, but you're on a journey into the psyche.

Plus we talk through the modern concept of gatekeeping. Is it being intimidated by people with knowledge? Is it a useful way to find your community in the cacophony of the internet era? Maybe it's a way to test how committed a person is to participating in the conversation???
