Herman Story, Nuts and Bolts, Syrah, California 2021

It’s the home stretch of the 12th Annual Motocross Exhibition and you’re way in the lead. Throw your hands up and revel in the shouts, the raspberry rev of the engine, the needles of fresh cherry rain, the chocolate-covered figs and grilled-berry bourbon floating around the sidelines, the white pepper fireworks at the finish, the honey-tipped roses of the winner’s circle. Snatch the trophy and spray the stunned crowd with Champagne, then pop a wheelie as everyone else crosses the line, just to rub it in. Those ten-year-olds didn’t stand a chance.
