Maynard’s adventures in viticulture
According to a couple of tweets on the caduceuscellars account, a few of their wines have picked up some awards: 2007 Primer Paso: Critics Choice & Consumers Choice Awards from Arizona Wine Growers Association 2007 Primer Paso: Peoples Choice Award (award by whom we don’t know!) Congratulations to Maynard, Eric and the whole Caduceus/Merkin team on their effort. Now how about getting some of that wine Down Under? Interested in… Read More »Caduceus Wins Awards

A few videos have come over my desk the last few days, and I’m finally getting around to posting them. The first are a range of videos from the recent Danny Carey, Aloke Dutto, Terry Bozzio drum clinic in Kansas. There’s a stack of them out there, but here’s the best I found: There’s also a video Maynard talking about his winery and the viability of the industry in Northern… Read More »Danny Drum Clinic & Maynard Winemaking Videos
There’s an interview with Maynard up on KSIW (a Seattle Radio station I gather) that you can listen to. Â If you can get past annoying interviewers, it turns out to be a good listen. For those without patience, here’s an overview: Tom Morello wrote Cuntry Boner (was performed with Adam in Electric Sheep originally). Â He also hinted it may be played on the next Puscifer tour. Mentioned he’d love some… Read More »Maynard Interview on KSIW
In a recent email from the Puscifer mailing list, Maynard announced that the Tasting Room at Caduceus is now open: “Another in an endless series of complex puzzle pieces has fallen into place. We are many years away from our goal, but the opening of this tasting room is a very, very important step towards achieving those goals. Thank you all for your steadfast support.” – Maynard James Keenan Caduceus… Read More »Caduceus Cellars & Merkin Vineyards Tasting Room now open
A few things came across my desk today, none of which are particularly exciting and warrant their own post. Firstly, there’s a set of gig posters from the last Tool tour up on Ebay. Located in the UK, the complete set starts at £100, or you can buy it now for £200. Next up Blair‘s Myspace page has a few interesting photo’s added recently, the most interesting of which is… Read More »Stuff that you might be interested in
DoubleSixx was nice enough to send me his report from the recent Wine Signings with Maynard and Eric in the USA. For a detailed look into how the day went, read on… I arrived 4:25pm, with at least what looked like a hundred people online outside the building. No parking in sight, I parked way down the road and had a nice walk to The Wine Library. I got lucky… Read More »Report from Wine Signings
Judi from Toolarmy pointed me to this short interview with Maynard by Evan Rytlewski from Express Milwaukee. Doesn’t really add much insight into Maynard or the wine, though he does make some suggestions on how to enjoy it properly.
Maynard sent out a Puscifer Mailout today, with a couple of things inside, though largely stuff we already know. He confirms: The upcoming Wine Signing Tour (which I’ll paste below for those who’ve missed it) Mentions that the Puscifer Store in Jerome, AZ has been expanded, and that there are a limited edition Etnies Puscifer shoe available (check the coming soon section). The documentary Blood Into Wine: The Arizona Stronghold… Read More »Puscifer Mailout
Doublesixx pointed me to an article on Hard Rock Chick, which talks about her experiences at a signing earlier this year. For those of you thinking of going later this year, and are unsure of the costs, time and other “procedures” it’s a must read.
