In the basement of the world's cutest micro-winery, I met with Mark Porembsky to talk about his work there making not only the wine for Anomaly Vineyards, but also for his own brand, Zeitgeist Cellars.
Our conversation covers:
- Mark's favorite winemaking tool
- The mentors that Mark had when learning to make wine
- How Mark and his wife, also a winemaker, harness "creative conflict" in their blending process
- How subtlety and complexity have evolved to be hallmarks of the Zeitgeist wines
- The origins of Anomaly Vineyards
- How Mark uses analytical tools such as tannin assays to inform his winemaking
