| We are small. Our hands, our feet, our minds are in the wine. We make wine from vineyards that are distinguished sometimes by being ignored. Our wine often does not resemble other wines, but we are not renegades. We are students. Our projects are not always experiments-- sometimes we know what we are doing-- but they are always acts of emulation, looking up at the work of others we admire. | ||||||
| Thus, "scholium," from
the Greek <<scholion>>, which shares the
same root as "school, scholarship." It signifies
a modest project, not a preeminent one, undertaken for
the sake of learning, understanding–hence a commentary,
an essay, a study. But no matter how much we learn,
no matter how interesting our studies, if the wines
do not bring pleasure, they are worthless. And if they
do not circulate, our work is empty. So we strive harder
every year to disseminate the wine-- the wines have
no business staying in the same place, consumed only by
a few. It is a particularly exciting time-- because we have just finished bottling our newest release. You may see the wines here. |
