2019. This is the long élevage that spent 18 months in neutral French oak. Tart berry/cherry, savory herbs, earthy tannins, and bright acidity. If blind tasted, I’d swear it was French. It was a perfect accompaniment to grilled flank steak and Lebanese zucchini with homemade chimichurri. — 3 days ago

2022. Enjoyed the 2021 earlier this year, but this pairing of ricotta ravioli and brown butter sage sauce really worked well with the nutty bitterness in the finish of the wine. — 3 years ago

I’m not a “natural wine” devotee necessarily, but I am a Martha devotee.

Out to The Meadow is almost always one of my favorites in her line up. Chenin driven, this wine shows the variety’s funkier side on the nose (honeysuckle, wet wool, hay, gray stones). On the palate, it balances sweet (honey, honeysuckle) and sour (incredible tart, barely ripe green apple, white nectarine); fruity, vegetal and just the right amount of bitter (at least for those of us with an bias towards Italian whites) with Vermentino’s unmistakable salty fennel/herbal/grapefruit pith on the finish. Have no idea what “green hungarian” and “chasselas doré” add to the blend, but I trust the master and her modern interpretation of what a century old California field blend would have looked and tasted like. — 4 years ago

2022. This is now designated as Bricarelli Ranch. I’ve enjoyed all of the vintage and multi-vintage bottles of this wine over the last several years and have been really impressed with how well the delicious fruit flavors have held up. — 4 months ago

2021. Always a favorite! Lighter color and body than some of the previous vintages, but great fruit and a little tartness to pair great with pasta 🍝 — 2 years ago

The “Cactus” Piquette was made from their Out to the Meadow field blend skins. This is my last bottle of the Cactus, and it really held up well in the fridge. Paired great with roasted asparagus with lemon and Swiss chard with balsamic. — 3 years ago

What a nose. Spice, cocoa, earth and very complex. Cherries as well. Super expansive. Leather and wood shavings. Cherry liquer. Wow. Stunning aromas. Palate has energy and purity for days plus awesome sappy texture and grippy but sweet tannins and wonderful sappy cherries. Good freshness and texture and very nimble. This has serious structure and will age very very well. — 4 years ago

2021. Had on day 1 and day 3 after opening with two different baked fish dishes. Tonight’s spicy mustard-ginger glazed salmon and charred Brussels sprouts turned out to be a great pairing for this aromatic field blend. — a year ago

2021. We loved this lighter bodied, lower abv Zinfandel. The tart red fruits made a perfect match with both a kale salad with dried cranberries and with pasta and spicy sausages. — 3 years ago

Pretty unusual blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Nero d’Avola from different vineyards in Mendocino County. Fermented separately and then aged in barrel for 6 months. Beautiful, complex nose with notes of red and dark fruit. Cherry cola, cinnamon and some smoky notes. Fresh, medium-bodied. Tart red fruit, some blood orange. Great acidity. Fun, very enjoyable — 4 years ago

A wine as bubbly as it’s label. It’s the friend that puts you in a good mood simply because you’re going to hang out, and you haven’t even met up yet.

Low alcohol and easy to sip or chug, no party fouls included. It’s not low on flavor—pineapple and juicy Granny Smith, a little bit of butter bread, and some Haribo peachy-o-yeses. Don’t let the sweet scare you, let it warm up a little bit from its chill chill mega chill and it smooths out like a summer sunset. — 5 years ago
