Pepper. Tannin forward. Waiting to open. Slightly underripe wild blackberries picked on the side of a trail with a bit of leaf mixed in. Pucker. Nice this damp chilly evening. — 22 days ago

Round. Freshly cut wood. Stone fruit pit. Hint of plastic. Astringency. Stressful day- waiting to unclench jaw and wine to open up a bit given value price point. Pairs well with fire and dog. Knowing dinner is on the stove. — 2 months ago

Dark cherries. Peppery. A bit of cracked nice leather belt that you’re keeping. Value. Because it’s 10/29- might just pair with those peanut butter cups or dark mini chocolate bars I’ll stash from the hungry hordes 10/31 (What wines pair with Halloween candy-no to skittles and Sauvignon Blanc!!!). Anyway this is tasty with my chicken thighs parm with my Italian sausage sauce. This is a value go-to. Rum cask is a nice conceit but 30 days? Former Caribbean resident. I’m not claiming to discern it. — a month ago

Peach pit. Ripe pear on the nose. White clean. Astringent then round. Subtle. Delicate. Hints of stone fruit. Lemon zested. Springtime at dusk. Fireflies. Yet not piccolo nor fairies. Contemplating contentment. My reality is an over warm autumn Sunday evening with chicken in the oven and my excellent dog by my side. Content. So a toast. — 2 months ago

Round, ripe peach pit, purse and cutting board hatched from cutting late summer stone fruit. Whiff of fire starter. Resin. I’m wanting smoked Gouda and apple slices. It’s a fall Sunday that’s too hot for October. Too soon winter- but for now- I’m waiting for wool. — a month ago

Ruby, dark berry nose. Pepper, the dust of dried leaves in a shed, Black cherry skins. Pucker. Pick a peck of purple plump plums. Skins again. The pasta marinara simmers. This will be an easy evening sipping. — 3 months ago
