Field House Cabernet Sauvignon is luscious, and so is monogamy. Or is it? You’ve tried marriage, or perhaps a long-term relationship, and it didn’t work out. So, is monogamy dead? Is monogamy a natural instinct or just a social construct? And why the hell are we so sober that we can actually use the term “social construct?”
For this episode, we break open a box of wine from Scout and Cellar, specialists in curated selections of clean wine (also called “natural wine” or “wine without fuckery”). A delicious 2017 Field House Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon is our accompaniment to a discussion on the virtues of monogamy – or lack thereof – and whether the whole idea should be relegated to the scrap pile of history.
Clean wine, clean mind? Not in the least.

And that’s what’s really at the heart of this decision: I can’t shake this story or these characters. It’s what I always come back to. So, I think this is The Universe trying to tell me something: finish this story before you move on to something else. And so I will.
The 2016 Altocedro Gran Riserva Malbec es muy loco, but in all the good ways. To start, Altocedro harvests from 70-year-old vines from a 107-year-old vineyard. Not unusual, especially for Mendoza malbec. BUT, then they take the harvested Malbec in whole clusters and barrel co-ferment with 4% Semillon in French oak.
