2006 Fulcrum Pinot Noir

Pairs with: Arctium lappa! Otherwise known as Great Burdock, this weed is native to Eurasia but has now been thoroughly naturalized in North America.  In 18th century America, this weed was prescribed as a cure for both syphilis and gonnorhea and in Europe to heal minor wounds.  The roots of a first year plant (the weed has a two year life cycle) can be gathered in fall, peeled and served with butter.

Why? Purchased neither, consumed both.  Delicious.
