Caduceus Cellars, Merkin Vineyards
« on: December 09, 2010, 05:32:53 PM »
I just watched a documentary on this winery that was started by Maynard James Keenan, the frontman for Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer.  The movie was called "Blood Into Wine".  If you've got Netflix, its available for streaming.  Excellent doc.

I've not tried their wine, but it is available for purchase on the internet.  Closest place we can get it is in Memphis.

Here's their website:
www.caduceus.org

One blended Cab that caught my eye is called Nagual del JUDITH after Maynard's mom.  His mom had an aneurysm at 31 that left her paralyzed until she passed away 29 years later.  When he started this vineyard/winery, he spread her ashes through the land so that she could live on through the wine.  In the movie, he took the first bottle off the line and stored it.  The second bottle, he sent to Judith's mother.

Fish on!
