DipWSET, CMS 2. I like wine, pie, and laughter. Also dark things and cats.
It had classic Chenin telltales—hints of honey on citrus and apples with ripping acidity. Literally, the only physical note I made was simply, “I love Chenin.” — 23 days ago
Downright handsome and golden, bringing ripe stone fruit and Meyer lemon with an under-ripple of minerality. — 23 days ago
Aged in neutral oak and oh-so refreshing. Lightly peaches and cream, sparkly in texture but also creamy, I want it in my glass all summer. — 23 days ago
A favorite from the Garagistes tasting, hailing from the Jurassic Vineyard in Santa Ynez. — 23 days ago
Toasty as can be and rather Burgundian, barrel fermented in 25% new French. It had a bit of brininess and a hit of toasty apple if you can imagine such a thing (and if you cannot, try the wine). — 23 days ago
A42% Merlot, 29%/Syrah/29%Mourvedre blend showing pleasantly prickly tannins and oodles of blackberries and brambles. — 23 days ago
Spicy, tannic and bold but approachable, acid lifting ripe fruit and aligning with minerals. — 23 days ago
Juicy and fresh, speaking of lemons and linens, although also apples, just not the toasty type. — 23 days ago
I’ve been thrilled about the espresso martini comeback and am waiting for Cosmos to have one, too (I may be waiting for A While). Obviously, it would be better from a chilled cocktail glass, but straight out of a can or (as I am wont to have it) over ice in a movie theater’s free water cup, it has all the flavors, though without the pleasing head of froth many show. Or the floating espresso bean garnish. But otherwise it checks all the caffeinated boxes. — a month ago

It is a more restrained Zin with some time in French oak (50% new). You get a little of the pepper and almost a touch of smoke. A tasty and on-the-refined-side of Zinfandel. — 23 days ago
