Alice Waters played a major role in creating the movement toward natural foods, and I like to think that I played a role in the natural wine movement. She focused on both the better flavors of organic foods and the health of the earth. As I went natural, I confess that not once did I consider even my own health. My eyes, nose, and palate alone guided me—hedonism rather than moral or altruistic considerations.

And when one spits out the wine, it is physically impossible to rid your mouth of every last drop. So there is at least one trickle-down effect I believe in.

I am not a true-believer type of guy. That’s not my style. I will not agree categorically that the less a winemaker does to his or her wine, the better. Ultra-natural does not always taste good, as I learned from decades of tastings and experimentation.
