Creation Art of Pinot Noir, voor dit kunstwerk moesten wij toch echt even gaan zitten. De naam van deze wijn kon niet beter zijn, man wat een wijn! De prachtige heldere donker paarse geur is alleen al prachtig.Het jonge wijnhuis Creation Estate
In 2002 gingen Jean Claude en Carolyn Martin samen de uitdaging aan om een wijnhuis te beginnen in een uithoek van de Walker Bay Wine Region. Spannend zal het ongetwijfeld zijn geweest. Hier waren namelijk nog nooit eerder wijnstokken aangeplant. Beiden zijn opgegroeid in wijnfamilies en waren met de nodige kennis op zak vastbesloten en overtuigd van het potentieel van het gebied. Samen richtten ze Creation Estate op in de schilderachtige Hemel-en-Aarde Vallei. Vijf jaar later vond de eerste oogst plaats en was er dus in de kelder de beste apparatuur nodig. Sindsdien timmeren ze hard aan de weg met hun kwaliteitswijnen. Inmiddels bezit het wijnhuis vijftig hectare wijngaarden in de Hemel-en-Aarde Vallei. Het gaat volgens de wijnmakers om de kwaliteit van de druiven, en niet om de ‘trucjes’ die kunnen worden uitgevoerd. En met de kwaliteit zit het wel goed. De combinatie van hoger gelegen wijngaarden vlakbij de Atlantische Oceaan zorgt voor een uniek microklimaat in Walker Bay. Daar kunnen de druiven volop van profiteren. Na de zorgvuldige oogst wordenHoe smaakt de Creation The Art of Pinot Noir?
Om tot dit kunstwerk te komen worden de wijngaarden zorgvuldig uitgezocht. Alleen de beste vaten worden gebruikt voor de final blend. Veertig procent van de druiven worden traditioneel gevinificeerd met hele trossen, dus zonder te ontstelen en te kneuzen. Dit is bijzonder geschikt voor pinot noir, omdat er zo meer kleur, aroma’s en structuur ontstaat. Na de gisting blijft de wijn nog een jaar rijpen op eikenhouten vaten. Daarna wordt de wijn nog licht gefilterd en tot slot gebotteld. En dan zijn de wijnliefhebbers aan de beurt om te genieten van deze bijzondere wijn. Het bouquet bevat een subtiele hint van rozenblaadjes, daarna mooie tonen van zwarte kersen, wilde bosaardbeien, een subtiel pepertje en een beetje anijs. Door de houtlagering bespeurden wij ook nog een fijne toets van eikenhout. Het smaakpalet is werkelijk waar een ‘’stedentrip’’ door prachtige smaken. Mooie hinten van kersen en rijpe pruimen, afgewisseld met specerijen, aardse champignons en een fijne toets van vanille. De verfijnde afdronk maakt de reis door deze Creation Art of Pinot Noir helemaal compleet. Heerlijke te combineren met kalfszwezerik en lichte wildgerechten.Shipping Notes

A Dyadic Review: Baffling, Brilliant
Difficult. Rewarding.
Serious. Hilarious.
Wise. Faux-wise.
Scholarly. Mock-scholarly.
Observant. Absurdly, obsessively observant.
Sharp characterizations. Ridiculous characters.
Devout. Bawdy.
Endearing. Frustrating.
Genius. Barking mad.
Narratively incoherent. Stream-of-consciousness associative.
Consistently provincial. Profoundly universal.
Mired in the 18th century. Harbinger of 20th century literary Modernism.
Baffling. Brilliant
Not for every taste. For my taste.
And while I'm at it, let me give a shout-out for the out-of-print Norton critical edition, which provides many helps, essay avenues of understanding, and a clever chapter summary/table of contents. For so many years - since reading Moby Dick in grad school with the help of a Norton critical - this publication line has been my go-to for great texts: useful annotations, contemporary reviews, later scholarly articles, and more.
And also let me give a shout-out to Anton Lesser, who narrated the complete novel for Naxos. I have never, ever experienced an audiobook as masterfully produced and narrated as Naxos' Tristram Shandy. No, it is simply not a book one can listen to and fully comprehend as heard. But one might read while listening, or listen while reading, with - if you have the riight software - the narration sped up closer to one's own reading speed, and experience the full majesty of Lesser's absolute preparation, with Latin, Greek, French, and German - as well as regional English - beautifully and humorously intoned, character voices carefully differentiated, tone and mood captured, etc. Or, as I do, go for a walk and listen as you walk, and afterward slip into a comfy chair, crack the novel open, and continue from where you left off, or backtrack if necessary to sort out the characters. In any event, and particularly for devotees of audio books, do find Anton Lesser's note-perfect reading, a veritable radio serial, perhaps the last book you'd expect anyone to attempt single-handedly, with My Father, My Uncle Toby, Corporal Trim, Parson Yorick, Doctor Slop, Widow Wadman, and all the rest of the supporting characters beautifully, consistently interpreted. Lesser is, in a galaxy of fine narrators, the greatest I've heard: an absolutely peerless voice actor in a most demanding work.

Brilliant stream of consciousness style, *extremely* humorous
"The Life and Opinions..." is perhaps impossible to really classify. It purports to be a biography of the fictional Tristram Shandy, but I don't think you can call something a biography when it only covers a year or so of the subject's life! I would say that more than half of the novel actually falls into the "Opinions" referred to in the title. The rest consists of short stories on Tristram's father, uncle, and a couple other minor characters.
I have never in my life read so many digressions from the topic at hand, most of which were utterly irrelevant but the charm of it is that Sterne *knows* they're irrelevant, but mockingly expresses his license of authorship in forcing the reader to go off on these sidetracks. His attitude is: "If you can't wait a chapter or two to get back to the story, well, go take a flying leap, I'm the author." Sometimes the digressions are exasperating. Very unlike Victor Hugo's signature habit of digressing, say when a certain main character in Notre Dame decides to enter the Paris sewers, Hugo takes thirty or more pages to give a history of the design and construction of the Paris sewer system. At least Hugo's digressions have *something* to do with the story.
Well, maybe that's the problem. There isn't a main story in this novel. It's not a storybook. There are many short stories nested within the main framework, but there is no real protagonist or overarching theme of any sort. Indeed, the end comes abruptly and there is absolutely no resolution of any conflict.
It's not trying to teach anything, really.
So what is it? I'm not sure. More a comedy than anything else. Right up there with Dickens' "Pickwick Papers" in terms of humor, but lacking the story. Maybe funnier than Dickens and just as clever. I was rolling in the aisles so many times I lost count.
I read the Penguin edition, edited by Melvyn & Joan New. The back cover does a better job than I could ever do in providing a sense of what you're getting into when you pick this one up:
"No one description will fit this strange, eccentric, endlessly complex masterpiece. It is a fiction about fiction-writing in which the invented world is as much infused with wit and genius as the theme of inventing it. It is a joyful celebration of the infinite possibilities of the art of fiction, and a wry demonstration of its limitations."
It's a large work, it will take a while to work through. It's worth it. There are passages I want to go back to and make copies of to tape to the walls, they're that brilliant.

Interesting read, but takes some getting used to
I heard about this book on a blog, and figured I'd check it out. It's the rambling tale of a man determined to give you every last detail of everything that might be important to the narrative of his life. Unfortunately, he goes on tangets so often that he doesn't even get to his birth for several chapters, let alone the story of the rest of his life. Along the way, you're introduced to lots of random characters who are (at best) loosely related to the protagonist, but as often as not these tangents are fairly amusing.
The writing is pretty dense, and this along with the tangents had me putting the book down fairly often. It's probably ideal for a commuting book, but I never wanted to just sit down and blitz through big chunks of it.
Overall it's a very different kind of experience than a novel reader typically gets. It's worth a read for a change of pace, but I can't say it's a life-altering read.
