Oh my. My first red in France. Taste of old oak. Vanilla creamy and a little pastoral almost like peanut shell — 4 years ago

Another hit from Two Shepherds. Surprised by how fresh and alive the fruit in is here after nearly 6 years under cork. Makes a strong case for natural winemaking. Excellent partner for gumbo. — 6 years ago

This was before the 1982 sale of Castello. Little info, but this is pre-replanting of mid-80s, very pastoral expression. Eye opening Tuscan gem. — 7 years ago

This is, to Corsair’s knowledge, the first ever whiskey derived from quinoa – although a handful of additional distillers have followed suit. In actuality, it tastes like, well, quinoa – capturing the grain’s earthy flavors and a certain grassy dryness, like some pastoral windblown field. Not surprising to this San Franciscan, the quinoa whiskey reportedly sells well in California. — 8 years ago

A wine that begs the question, is it a rosé? The 2013 Angelicall from cult producer Antica Terra and is crafted using unconventional methods, including a week-long maceration on the skins and twelve months aging on the lees. While still translucent and ruby-hued, it shows astonishing, almost brooding concentration and insanely intense aromatics, evoking pastoral images of the forest—salmon berries still on the vine, underbrush and tatty climbing roses. On the palate, silky layers of rhubarb, tart pie cherries, hibiscus and spice. — 11 years ago

I liked how it felt in my mouth, it was wine but it was like strong alcohol, at the same time I could taste the fruitiness (plums and other dark fruits) with a hint of chocolate and earthy smokiness. Sweet without that being the main point, — 5 years ago

Delicious, juicy black fruit and a structured med- frame / bramble with a supporting acidity and crushed rock minerality / classic & humbly sophisticated, while also being pastoral & convivial / almost a cru beauj thing going on — 7 years ago

A blend of Macabeu, Garnatxa Blanca, Xarello, Muscat, and Malvasia, La Vinyeta - one of Empordà's most innovative young estates - delivers a delicious entry-level white. Saline and resinous, with flavors of dried honeycombe, yellow apple skin, and wilted wild flowers - there's a textural rusticity that seems to capture the pastoral charms of Catalonian farmland. — 8 years ago

Excellent! Romantic, floral, a hint of watermelon. This wine easily transports me to a British garden, at a cafe table with a pretty tablecloth, bees humming and birds singing all around me. Somewhat cliche, but so pastoral that it brings me to a deep state of contentment without any effort. Vino di Vino.

D: lemony, a little fizzy, transports him to.....to a place where he can tune out my line of questioning about how this wine makes him feel. — 9 years ago

Sitting on the soft, grassy hillside of a beautiful Tuscan Villa, looking out over the peaceful rolling hills, bathed in sunshine. As you take in this magestic pastoral scene, a stranger appears.... he's wearing a baseball cap and listening to an iPod.... Must be an American. But, strangely.... This adds to the experience. — 8 years ago

Brambly blackberry, cassis, violet and lavender flavors. There's a lovely pastoral character to the wine that reflects the evocative landscape from which it is born. Chalky with excellent structure. — 9 years ago

Good citrus and stone (slate?) flavors. Just enough sweetness to balance out the minerality. — 10 years ago
