|
|
And while it can be argued that climate's hand ensures no wine will ever be exactly the same as a previous or future vintage, Firth does adhere to a few self-imposed professional rules to ensure some consistency: he doesn't add enzymes, only uses indigenous yeasts, and doesn't filter or clarify.
|
|
To achieve the desired flavor, clarity, color and easy drinkability (so that a sauvignon blanc tastes the way a sauvignon blanc is traditionally supposed to, in other words), winemakers commonly add in sulfites, sugars, extra yeasts and fining agents that might be derived from egg whites, volcanic clay or fish bladders.
|
|
Gino Migliosi, who cures prosciuttos for the Fratelli Rustici farm, said he leaves them to cure for two and a half years in caves dug into the hillsides outside Norcia — in the traditional way, relying on natural temperature fluctuations, breezes and yeasts instead of the climate control or convection fans that many modern producers use.
|
|
And a wacky approach prevails on the beer bill, at least where the names are concerned: Funkmaster Brett (a Belgian I.P.A.), Poke the Bear (an American Pale Ale) and Peculiar Paradise (a golden saison) seem to hint at creative risks taken with yeasts and malts, though the extensive liner notes on each offering are beer-wonk reassuring.
|
|
He hates the fact that some wine science textbooks try to tell you how to make one of the oldest beverages in all humankind but loves that he just got his yeast analyzation report back from the lab and that three out of four of the wild yeasts that he uses for his wines are virtually unclassified.

She wrote about the lab-manufactured yeasts that allow growers to tweak their grapes' naturally occurring flavors, the enzymes that shape aroma and texture, the powdered tannins that enhance mouthfeel, the colorants that deepen hues, the filtration and fining processes that remove particulate matter, the sulfites that aid in preservation, the micro-oxygenation machines that smooth tannins—or, according to Feiring, "turn wine into baby food"—the reverse-osmosis machines that she called "torture chambers" for wine.
|
|
Almost all of these brews took their inspiration either from Belgian and German styles like oud bruin, an aged Belgian brown ale; Flanders red ale, another aged Belgian ale without the malty character of oud bruin; lambic, a Belgian ale in which fermentation occurs spontaneously through ambient yeasts and which is sometimes flavored with fruit; Berliner weisse, a tart wheat beer from Berlin, and gose, another tart wheat beer from eastern Germany flavored with spices and salt.
