l'Amérique comme je l'aime

Kate MacWilliamson sells KLWM wines in Southern California. 
Kermit Lynch asked her to share some thoughts about the view from down there. Here is her response:

2006 Côtes de Provence “Nowat”
Dupéré Barrera

One of Southern California’s greatest assets is Chino Farm.
Nestled in the eucalyptus groves just east of Del Mar, the Chinos cultivate new and hard-to-find varieties of fruits and vegetables.
They’ve been doing this for two generations. Though I can’t get enough of their summer sweet corn and tomatoes, winter is my favorite time of year to visit their farm stand.
There is never a line and for under $50 I can leave with three bags stuffed with mustard greens, herbs, beans, watermelon radishes, squash, and almost every type of root vegetable grown under the sun.
Once home, I quickly begin to roast and sauté away and uncork a bottle of Barrera’s Nowat. Nowat stands for no wattage, meaning this wine was made entirely by hand without the use of electricity. A blend of Syrah, Cabernet, Carignan, and Mourvèdre, it is the perfect accompaniment to the Chinos’ roasted winter vegetables.
Both are made in the same way—with love, knowledge, and respect of the land and the fruit that it has put forth."

En gros, pour ceux qui ne parlent vraiment pas l'anglais, ça évoque une ferme du sud de la Californie où l'on peut s'appovisionner en bons légumes authentiques. Cela inspire l'auteure Kate pour tenter un accord met et vin avec notre nowat et un sauté de légume... A essayer non.
Voilà l'Amérique que j'aime, celle qui reconnait les bons produits et qui sait jouir des bonnes choses de la vie. Elle existe et... heureusement.
