2008, oops. Either it’s good I accidentally opened this on my own or I’m mean. Needs manchego dang it, and all I’ve got is this hobo pizza a made. Not past it, funky in the right ways. And it may have been cheap.

I hour later after said pizza: Weirdly, it’s all chocolate cherry. — a year ago

Bursting with bright red fruits and herbs. Long finish and lingering dusty tannins. Yum. Just yum. — 5 years ago

Tart raspberry, bright, with a little sand-grainy-ness to it, like you have to chew it a little-in a good way. — 5 years ago

Brethren of the Road

Arroyo Seco Gewürztraminer

So light and lovely! I’m a fan.

Tasting notes of green apple, honeysuckle, lychee, rose petal.

A California-fresh spin on the unique Gewürztraminer grape, the 2019 vintage has notes of tropical fruit and white flowers.

Kenny Likitprakong, the winemaking partner who created our Brethren of the Road brand, is a wanderlust-driven, self-professed “hobo winemaker” whose stint in France sparked his allegiance to minimalist, non-interventionist methods. This lively Gewürztraminer is no exception. A grape that originally hails from Italy (not Germany, surprisingly), Gewürtz is known for producing a highly aromatic wine with exuberant fruit, floral and spice notes. The grapes for this bottling were sourced from the cool climate of Monterey and fermented in stainless steel to achieve a clean, pure, early-drinking wine. Soft and light on the palate, it’s a dry wine balanced with vibrant minerality and a little spice. — 5 years ago
