Product Details

The Language of Yes Grenache 'En Passerillage' 2020 Rancho Real Vineyard, Santa Maria Valley Ava. Odd name for a wine, what? 'The Language of Yes' or La Lenga d'Oc is the term that medical folk of southern France and adjacent environs used to describe how they spoke (as opposed to La Langue d'Oil of those Northerners - a cui bit of parochialism, non?) 'The Language of Yes' a precursor of modern Provencal, is a window to a particular sensibility - the language of the love poetry of the troubadours! - one the esteemed passion and and romance above celebration, and most significantly expressed a deep, almost mystical love of the land. So, what's up d'Oc? 'The Language of Yes' is the language we seek to articulate is our far-flung New World outpost, a dedication to affirmation and positivity.
