Philosophy
Simplicissimus is...
➔ a difficult way of saying something simple. The hands-off approach and unique fermentation was a more complex process than the usual traditional method.
➔ a German Satirical magazine (1896-1967) featuring bright, bold, artistically modern graphics Winemaker Sean O’Keefe enjoys. It published politically daring works from writers critical of rigid Prussian military figures and German socio economic distinctions.
➔ originated from a 1669 book titled Simplicius Simplicissimus, known as a picaresque novel—depicting adventures of witty, roguish, lower social class heroes in corrupt societies. Inspired by events and horrors of the Thirty Year War, it is regarded as the first German language adventure novel and the first German novel masterpiece.
