Light my Fire

Garnatcha Tintorera har intet at gøre med Garnatcha (Grenache), men er den samme drue som Alicante Bouschet. Selve kødet i druen er modsat de fleste druer rødt, det gør at der er masser af saft og kraft i druen.

Jeg kan godt forstå, at de har kaldt vinen ”light my fire”. Der er knald på, med intens mørke kirsebær og brombær, masser kraft, krydderi og bløde tanniner. Med 15% i alkohol er den ikke for små børn. Oven i det kommer den på 9 måneder franske og amerikanske egefade, der giver den en dejlig afrunding af vanille.

“Light my fire” was the first song written by Robby Krieger, The Doors’ guitarist. Apparently, Jim Morrison asked his fellow band members for help to write some songs. Krieger asked him what he could write about and Morrison answered something universal.

So, Krieger was inspired by the four elements:
Earth, Wind, Sea and Fire, although later he would only concentrate on one of them, Fire; influenced by “Play with Fire” by The Rolling Stones. On 12th December 1970, “Light my fire” was the last song Jim Morrison sang at The Warehouse de New Orleans before his death in Paris on 3rd July 1971.
