Introducing Charmaine’s latest novel, The Winemaker
People like wine
There are
people. And then there are people who are like wine. And I don’t mean that in
the cliché-ish sense of ‘getting better with age’ or labeling like in
generalizing, but in a unique personality kind of way. Winemaker Etán
Perez-Cruz knows this too. Comparing the intoxicating Zenna with an alluring
wine bouquet is the ultimate compliment a man of few words like Etán can bestow
on a woman. Etán relies heavily on his sensory input to execute his job, but it
goes a lot further than tasting, smelling, feeling, seeing, and even hearing.
Creation is as much a process of heart than of intellect, and only the pivotal
emotional touch can lead to the superstar wines that Etán fabricates.
“He’s not
seriously proposing to recite a label like a poem, is he?” Zenna thinks as Etán
asks her if she read the description of the wine he has offered her. But he has
never been more serious. Because to Etán, Zenna is like the most exquisite wine
in the world. Unequalled. She became the hedonistic pleasure of his senses, and
something deeper that he cannot yet put his finger on. Which is why Etán’s wine
label is, in fact, a love poem dedicated to Zenna when he says, “Showcases sweet, dark, plummy fruit. Wrapped in a cedary cloak of
earth, tobacco, and cassis. Smooth and supple, framed with soft tannins. There
is no need to cellar it. It should last well.”
Zenna learns quickly, and soon pins a label on Etán’s younger
rebel brother, Luca: “Perfectly open and huge, with deep plum and
black fruit smothering both the bouquet and palate. Huge berry flavors and
excellent balancing acids and tannins. A wine distinguished as a bruiser with
charm. While it shows very little in common with Rhône-style Syrah, for a
Chilean version it rocks.”
