My goodness. The endurance. Olive trees are a gift to the world.
The at least 2,000 year old olive tree of Vouves,on the island of Crete,still bears olives. The tree stood here when Rome burned in AD64, and Pompeii was buried under a thick carpet of volcanic ash in AD79. Cemeteries from the Geometric Period (900-700 BC) were discovered nearby.

I remember the first time I met Zelma in the early 1980s. She was the second woman through the enology and viticulture program at UC Davis--a stunning achievement. She and superstar viticulturist Phil Freese made a formidable pair!

Are #wine descriptions like “feminine” or “masculine” useful or offensive? Fascinating conversation among my Stanford students in preparation for tomorrow night’s class is on Wine and Language for the course: Exploring Wine’s Connection to Place and Culture.
