IGN: Winemaking is one of your new projects. Was this something you've always been interested in or a more recent discovery?
Keenan: It turns out that my family made wine in Northern Italy. I had no idea until a relative of mine who I rarely see told me. It's in my blood. I'd already put vines in the ground before I knew this.
IGN: Your vineyard, Merkin, is located in Arizona. What prompted your decision to locate there? Was it an issue of soil or the possibility that you'll soon have coastal real-estate on Arizonabay after LA sinks?
Keenan:Both the vineyard (Merkin Vineyards) and the winery (Caduceus Cellars) are located in Arizona. This is a prime spot for vineyards. An untapped resource. But the master plan is to have the Merkin Vineyards Bed and Breakfast set up for when California drops in the ocean. Beach front property and the New Napa Valley. You got it.
IGN: Where can one buy your wines?
Keenan: The wines can only be purchased by physically visiting the Page Springs Cellars tasting room in Cornville, Arizona. Other than that we will be selling VERY LIMITED quantities online at store.caduceus.org.
