It's great
回味一下經典的對白,邁爾斯與瑪雅討論的不再是Pinot和Wine.他們討論的是自我和生活。
Why are you so into pinot?
I mean, it's like a thing with you.
Uh… I don't know. I don't know.
Um… It's a hard grape to grow.
As you know. Right?
It's, uh-- It's thin-skinned…
temperamental, ripens early.
It's-- You know, it's not survivor… like cabernet… which can just grow anywhere…
and thrive even when it's neglected.
No, Pinot needs constant care and attention. You know?
And, in fact, it can only grow…
in these really specific, little tucked-away corners of the world.
And-- and only…
the most patient and nurturing of growers… can do it, really.
Only somebody who really takes the time… to understand pinot's potential…
can then coax it into its fullest expression
And them? I mean--
Oh, its flavors, they're just the most haunting and brilliant…and thrilling and subtle and…
ancient on the planet.
I mean, l like to think about the life of wine.
How it's a living thing.
I like to think about …
What was going on the year the grapes were growing…
how the sun was shining… if it rained.
I like to thins about…
all the people who tended and picked the grapes…
and, if it's old wine, how many of them must be dead by now.
I like how wine continues to evolve.
Like, If i opened a bottle of wine today…
It would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day.
Because a bottle of wine is actually alive…
and it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity.
That is, until it peaks…
like your' 61.
And then it begins its steady…
inevitable decline.
and it tastes so fucking good.
