Drinking up my stock of these as the previous bottles were past their prime. But my final one goes out with life still in it! Apple, pear, ripe and juicy lemon, maybe even a little pineapple on the long finish. — 4 days ago

Like curling up on a velvet couch. All the Bordeaux stuff is there—cedar, under rich dark fruit, soft tannin, some tobacco, a nice long ripe berry finish. But the point is the feel: plush and rich and deep. 💜 — 12 days ago

What a joy. New grapes, developed for cold climes of Quebec. Drinks like a super fresh gamay. Juicy grape with herbal notes, a slight fizz, lots of acid. Perfect for summer Friday in the park. Thanks @Kyle Bella 🎉🍾 — 6 days ago

Writing advice: If you’re stuck at your desk into the evening on a hot August day, wrestling with a clunky lede, transport yourself to Basque country. It’ll work out. — 10 days ago

Wine fridge scavenging as the sun finally returns, and found something with the words “cremant” and “rose”—foolproof. And yet, this is a tad disappointing. The bready notes that should be *under* the pretty fruit are instead *over* it. Still, I’ve got a nice book pairing: “There There,” by Tommy Orange. — 12 days ago

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy. Bright fruit with bready base under it. Bone dry with a long, lovely strawberry shortbread finish. ☀️ — 18 days ago

Wow. This is a rich, gorgeous wine that deserves an attempt at a proper note. Pours a pretty burgundy/garnet color. Pronounced aromas push out of the glass: blackberry, blueberry, prune. Vanilla and a dusting of tobacco, but the fruit is the show. Same flavors once you start sipping, but the finish, wow: like a delish blackberry/blueberry cobbler, coating my mouth and lingering on and on. — 9 days ago

This is a perfectly engineered summer sparkler—like a cider, but with the fuller body of a Chardonnay. Tart, tangy lemon juice with a funky, animal note coming at the finish. Disappears a little in the middle, but then I forget all about that during the pronounced, long finish. — 11 days ago

A solid Tuesday wine. Nice fruit, some cedar, excellent price. And glad to see my hood wine shop step up. 🙌🏾 — 16 days ago
