"the reason i got into this," turin will say, [..] "is because i'm french, at least by upbringing. frenchmen will do things that anglo men won't, and france is a country of smells. there's something called pourriture noble. noble rot. it's a fungus. it grows on grapes, draws the waters out, concentrates the juice wonderfully, adds its own fungal flavor, and then you make wines like the sweet sauternes. paradise. from rotten grapes. the idea that things should be slightly dirty, overripe, slightly fecal is everywhere in france. they like rotten cheese and dirty sheets and unwashed women."
