Blood Into Wine Page #12

---

It took people seven years

to get Perfect circle.

It'll take people seven years

to get Puscifer.

And it takes seven years to see a dollar

out of a bottle of wine

that we're making here.

It's just a--

a natural-- a natural process

and a perfect number

to assign to that learning curve.

l'm alive still,

and there's so much to learn,

so much to know, so much to explore.

I can't really-- I just--

I guess I just can't really sit still.

I'd like to think that l've played a role

in helping him take steps.

I think with each year we get closer to him

operating independently.

lt's going to take me many years

to really learn how to make wine on my own,

and so getting out of the nest

is going to be really important.

Eric's going to be a key factor in that.

He's my mentor.

He's going to be the one

that's going to help me with that footing,

and that's that step of the Stronghold

that we're establishing.

I'd like to be able to present him

a bottle of wine that I made by myself

and have him give me the nod that...

I've accomplished something on my own.

And then it would be more of a matter of us

both having our businesses side by side

and calling-- you know,

being like the old men

and calling each other up

and saying, "You know,

"have you tried this yet?"

And "I did this last week,

and it worked great,"

and, you know, stuff like that.

And that's where I see us.

I see us as guys

who are going to get this place dialed.

And other people will come along after us

and take advantage of what we learned.

But I think we're going to stay

at the forefront of it, because we're both

very motivated, ambitious people,

and we're curious.

And, you know,

'cause this isn't just about making money.

This isn't just about

getting our names on some plaque

that says,

"Here's the guys who did this."

It's more about our own innate curiosity

and drives and interest in the world.

I think I could probably speak

on behalf of Eric on this one and say,

f***, no.

Wow.

You know, when this is a wrap,

I want to get back to my life.

I mean, I don't know if you noticed

over the course of this whole film,

but l'm not really much of a people person,

so this is not really what I like.

And head back to the cave,

get back to work and, you know,

shoot trespassers.

You included.

Wow.

But, I mean,

obviously we respect your feelings.

I mean, we'd handle it artfully.

I mean, do you feel like this film,

Blood into Wine--

We're at the end of the movie now.

Do you feel like it's told your story-

you and Eric as winemakers?

I mean...

As artists,

it's Eric and my job to observe,

interpret, and report as sensualists,

in whatever medium that may be.

And it's our hope

that over the course of this film,

you've had a little glimpse

into our process,

our creative journey

and our journey of self-discovery,

and hopefully it will inspire you

to either continue your journey

or to start your journey

toward self-discovery.

And hopefully,

we'll see you down in Arizona Bay.

I usually light the cigarette

from the...filter, and...

It smokes much better from there. Yeah?

I don't like smoking without nicotine gum.

You know?

Because the nicotine has a friend

when it comes into your mouth.

No one should be alone. Yeah?

Ever.

This is my workspace.

This is where I work on the grapes.

Look at the grape.

There are four sides to the grape.

There's a top, there's a bottom,

there's the outside and there's the inside,

and then there's a right and left side, too.

But that makes six sides to the grape.

You take your tool

and you plunge it into the grape.

Right?

And this is the purest wine

you'll ever have--

what you...suck off the tool.

Yeah, that makes the purest wine.

Look at that. It's like sex.

Oh, man.

Magnifique.

Oh, Mother.

Mother's-- Mother's milk.

That is the purest wine.

What is wine?

Wine is grape juice

that has gone bad.

The best part of the wine is the cork,

because it's unused, it's pure.

A wine bottle is just a--

a means of shipping cork around the world.

Open the wine.

The cork is free.

I freed you.

Yeah, I freed you.

Come out, little cork. Come out.

You're free to roam.

How do you get the cork out?

You come all the way from that tree--

that tree--

the cork tree.

And now look at the world.

Look at the world.

You've never been here to France,

have you?

Enjoy. Enjoy.

I will take the cork around Paris later.

"chteau Lafite, 1 827."

I use this to wash my dishes.

Look at the grapes. They laugh.

They laugh at the wine.

You've gotten old.

You're no good no more.

Look at us. We're young.

I'll squeeze you.

F*** you, wine!

F*** you, old man!

And so, you see,

everything you think about wine

is exactly wrong.
