About Darling Wines: “Today, Darling Wines produces Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay sourced from coastal vineyards in western Sonoma County, Marin County, Anderson Valley, and Mendocino Ridge. The goal is to produce wines with character and energy that showcase purity and site through transparent winemaking. With this goal in mind there is minimal handling from grape to bottle, restrained use of sulphur; in most cases, no synthetic additives or perfecting agents, fining or filtration, in an attempt to produce the most honest wine possible.”

St. Marx

TASTING NOTES: “From vines near Joseph Swan on a 5-acre terraced vineyard consisting of 100% dry-farmed Goldridge sandy loam soils, the 2022 Syrah Saint Marks Vineyard saw 15 months in all neutral barrels. It has a great deal of complexity on the nose and is 100% whole cluster, with notes of incense, pancetta, toasted earth, licorices, and fresh plums. Mouthwatering and structured, it’s medium to full-bodied, and while it fills the palate, it’s light on its feet, with bright acidity that stays refined. It offers wonderful length and is going to improve if given a chance to rest in the cellar for another year or more. Drink 2025-2037.” -Jeb Dunnuck

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Marx.

No, not Karl Marx. No, not Groucho Marx or any of his brothers. I’m talking about Marx, the villain from Kirby Super Star. That’s the important one.

During the Milky Way Wishes portion of Kirby Super Star, the sun and the moon won’t stop fighting each other for some reason. Marx is a little jester-like critter who tells Kirby the only way to make them stop is to gather power stars from nearby planets and summon the Great Comet Nova, because Nova can grant the wish of whoever summons it. Kirby goes through the process of collecting everything and summoning Nova, only for Marx to knock Kirby out of the way and take the wish for himself. His wish powers him up, and Kirby has to beat up both him and Nova to end his mischief.
