Countdown

Cory Cartwright is doing a sequel. His 31 Days of Natural Wine was a watershed moment in the genre, and now he's attempting to surpass it. Numerically, I mean. This year, it's 32 Days of Natural Wine.

I'm not saying you need to love, like, hate, or be indifferent to natural wine, as a category or a concept. But this is as much of a wine bloggy event as can be conceived. It is, to the extent that anything is in the genre, "important." (Though Cory would unquestionably twitch at that descriptor. And I don't blame him. It sounds a little like a "very special episode of Blossom") If you want a definition of natural wine...well, just read the series at saignée. If you still want a single, bright-line definition at the end of the series, you may have missed the point. (But that's OK.)

Cross-promotion? Why, yes. Thanks for asking. My contribution goes up today, assuming Cory doesn't reject it for confrontationalism. Or invented words. Or length. Though I can't imagine it suffers from any of those three problems...
