What happens when a brilliant artist switches to a different type of art altogether? Well, often failure, and the collective sense that said artist should never have branched out from what he or she knows, from what pleases the audience, to do this silly and whimsical other thing.
But not in this case.
Maynard James Keenan, front man for Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, international rock superstar, is clearly passionate about making music. In the mid-1990s he discovered a new passion: wine. Soon thereafter he moved from Los Angeles to the Verde Valley in Arizona to plant a vineyard with the help of friend and winemaker Eric Glomski. From this Caduceus Cellars was born, which by 2007 produced wines that even a writer from Wine Spectator magazine gives praise to in the film Blood Into Wine.
Perhaps you've been doing something artistic for a long time, and doing it well. But perhaps a bug has gotten a hold of you to try something else like it did Keenan. You know what that means ... it's time to get discovered all over again.
You'll never know success or failure until you try. So give us a try. Submit. What you come up with might just wind up being absolutely delicious.
