Speaking of pisco
July 31, 2008
I don't remember where I read/heard that pisco was made from whole grapes, and I especially don't want to know how many times I repeated this information incorrectly. But that's what learning is all about- not just learning new stuff, but learning when you're wrong, wrong, wrong.

Same feeling Camper. . . I had been confused about that one for a long time. I'd heard both.
Though didn't Diego still say that some Chilean products may use the whole grapes?

I also mentioned it in passing somewhere on my blog. Roundup of one of the days at TOC I think.
Still on the subject of pisco, if you haven't done so already you really need to have a pisco sour at Alembic. The one I had there had the most amazing foam. Nice presentation too. They use a chalice type glass that concentrates the aroma of the garnish better than a cocktail glass.
