the Weird Science of Wine
February 4 2024 | 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM24 Harrison St, New York, NY 10013
WINE WEIRD SCIENCE
with the inimitable, Thomas Shpetner,
the Master Blaster of our very own Galileo
and now, in the words of our very own terroir-ist, Thomas Shpetner...
“we can't offer you a meetup with Galileo Galilei
(mom's Ouija board is wonky at times ...),
AND sadly Richard Feynman,
Nobelist, safecracker, & bongo-drum sideman, also slipped the mortal coil.
BUT… we can offer "Weird Science.”
Per Maestro Feynman, it’s the moral duty of the scientific world to
“increase the contact of scientists with the rest of society,” to combat
a “permanent attrition of cleverness of the mind that comes from not having the information,
or not having information always in a form which is interesting …”
So why not terroir?
The Programme of Wines:
I. BUBBLES, shine on you crazy diamonds
II. STILL, mostly water, running deep
III. Fortified, and loving it
The Weird Science course will focus on the "why" of yummy, using the "known" ...
a stew of physics, chemistry, biology, viticulture, ampelography, materials science,
and yeah ... stuff from my closet. "
The specifics of the event:
-it will be a seated & structured tasting, with reasoned debate
-there will be nibbles (though I have no clue what Nobelist Feynman prefers)
-there will be visuals & sounds, from various sources in Thomas' brain
Thomas has lived a lifetime in preparation for this professorship.
We look forward to welcoming you to terroir’s Academical Village.
