Heading down to the SC Film Festival in a moment for the premiere of The Terroirist. No question that seeing myself up on the silver screen will not do much to assuage my already flaming case of Imposter's Syndrome.

One of the great captures of this imperial presidency.

Thanks so much. I’m in a little discomfort but mercifully do not have the flu, and that’s a very good thing.

Lying in bed, shivering. Either a case of plague (unlikely) or reaction from flu vaccine.

It's like a heat wave. It's burning in my heart. I can't keep from burning. It's tearing me apart.

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Alas, no plans at the moment. But it’s very clear that the wines, if not the film will be better understood in Europe.

Treated myself to a pizza in Santa Cruz after the flu shot. Simple pizza, salad and fountain soda ran to $55 (tip included). I think I need to find a less expensive way to self-comfort.

One unacknowledged benefit of the flu shot is the throbbing pain in your shoulder is a brilliant distraction from the sundry aches and pains emanating from the rest of your body.

Awaiting flu shot. Apparently the discomfort of the shot pales relative to what it likely prevents.

Tried a different sleep medication last night, didn’t sleep much but when I did, had the weirdest ass dreams of memory. #backtodrawingboard

Down in Paso today to taste through the lineup. It’s always a horse race but the Ruchè was the real standout.

Lovely! Amazing that they are retaining the basket of eggs motif. I really hope that someday they will introduce a stylish sedan

The wine is likely not my style, except on rare occasion, though obscurantist label is right up my street.

Did Mel Brooks direct this movie?

Turns out that if I park my 72 Citroen DS-21 in front of the New Leaf Market with the window rolled down, the entire population of the County (and beyond) will eventually stop by and chat.

Contemplating the purchase of a used car for a family member. Many ways this could go sideways.

One additional moment of this autocrat is too much.

I had last night a recurring dream of Planet Tibouren, which from space looks like a green dimpled golf ball.

The heat appears to be melting vital neural circuits, such that I’m regressing to a consideration of cereal and milk as a dinner option.

When it’s silly hot as it is today I can’t help but imagine I’m trapped in a Robert Service poem.

Crazy warm throughout the state. So pleased that we were able to harvest everything before this last spell.

Driving my old Citroen today for old time’s sake. I could have chosen a cooler day. (AC not really working.)

Also illegal in Switzerland to plant a monoclonal vineyard. Maybe the thinking guided from a slightly different set of principles. But it seems that some countries think about diversity differently than does the US of A.

There are plenty of inexplicable phenomena in this world. Why do bad things happen to good people, for example. Why do people continue to buy Caymus Cabernet? #etcetera

Often there’s a (small) opportunity for a counter trend but the current state of the business is just starkly dismal.

Don’t think they’re coming back anytime soon. The world is moving in the opposite direction.

Randall Grahm @randallgrahm.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Nope. Ain’t coming back. The world is going in the other direction at least for a while.

How insane have we become that this is even possible? We are very far down the rabbit hole.

Heading over to the winery shortly to taste the Grenache as it is going dry. Likely will press today or tomorrow. Grenache can exhibit some astringency if it is over-extracted and want to make sure that does not occur.

Check out the green gages and mirabelles.

He is the best. I asked him once why he didn't grow apples. "I love fruit that bursts with flavor in your mouth and dribbles down your chin. Apples are the celery of fruit," quoth he.

Andy grows and sells the most extraordinary fruit. I asked him once why he did not grow pome fruit. "I want fruit that is so luscious it bursts with flavor and drips down your chin. Apples are the celery of fruit."

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Rampant leafroll virus in Napa Valley in the’60s and early’70s maybe partially responsible for those elegant 12.5% wines of the era.

Randall Grahm @randallgrahm.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Approximately 40% of the volume was composed of air-dried whole clusters, a significant source of very refined tannin.

Popelouchum Grenache sampled at 4 Brix. The vivid color is due in large part to a) low pH, b) the magic of stem tannin.

There are so many structural problems with the wine business these days, even in the fine wine segment. One issue is that our customers are aging out and are rightfully not interested in vins de garde.

Blowout wine dinner last night at Inaka Fusion in SJB. The wines acquitted themselves well I’m pleased to say.
