pelagic wine Explanation: Sounds rather poetic! Bruce Stater A House of Porifera There is a temple of Porifera, a house in the ocean composed entirely of living sponges left to dry in the air when the waves receed and fill with brine at high tide. It is a simple structure, designed in the form of a tower with a supporting structure of wooden beams visible only from the interior when one passes through a window made available at the monument's base. From the dandelion covered cliff it appears to tower as a beacon of lichen encrusted bricks marking the uncertainty between sea and shore. Entering its cavern, one feels the call of becoming, the lure to return to the water encompassed in the warm bath of amphibiotic memories of the womb. Inside one feels the breath of the living walls, a change in atmospheric pressure excerted upon the tympanum and the resulting congestion of the inner ear. The crash of the breakers lulls in the muted cavity like the hollow music of the conch which fascinates children with its mimetic echo of the sea. The scent of sweaty moss and kelp left drying in the sand overwhelms oneas nostrils with the infussion of its pelagic wine. Returning through the window which opens space and time to the transforming in-between, one feels that he has been reborn, remade, reformed, regiven and regifted to life. |

peer agreement (net): +1wines of Pucinia Explanation: Katunar" Winery The coastal region of Croatia has a long-standing tradition in winemaking, which dates back to Ancient times. It gained acclaim thanks to the wines of Pucinia of which Pliny (1st century) says: "Her 86 years Julia Augusta could thank the wine of Pucinia for she drank only it and no other. It grows in coves along the Adriatic Sea, not far from the source of the Timava, on the ridge of a hill and bathed by the sea current. It is stored in a small number of amphorae and it is belived that there is no better remedy." It is on this tradition that villages throughout the island of Krk have based the production of their renowned wines, notably Vrbnik where such a tradition has survived to this day. The brothers Anton and Ivan Katunar have modernised the family tradition; they have built new cellars, introduced new technology and restored a century-old tradition of sparkling wine production. Alongside their renowned lahtina and red wines, they also produce sparkling wines. http://www.katunar.com/en/o_nama.htm http://crotours.com/croatia/gastronomy.php |
