The Hatch

Crown et Thieves Okanagan Valley Chenin Blanc 2023

From Jessica: Outstanding Chenin from the Okanagan. The colour is pale straw and the nose is white peach and caramelized pineapple over a riverbed minerality. The palate is orange blossom with tangy pomelo citrus with a subtle shortbread cookie backbone. — 2 months ago

Ricardo Santos

La Madras Vineyard El Malbec 2010

Ah, the 2010 vintage of Ricardo Santos Malbec, a transcendental libation that beckons the soul into the labyrinthine depths of vinicultural exuberance. As I imbibed this elixir, my palate embarked on an odyssey through an enigmatic symphony of hedonistic flavors. The terroir speaks with the eloquence of a thousand poets, invoking an avant-garde pas de deux between dark fruit and enigmatic earthiness.

The tannins, oh, the tannins! Like philosophers engaged in a Socratic dialogue with one's senses, they debate their existence before yielding to a seductive silkiness that borders on a Vinous epiphany. Its finish lingers, not unlike the sermons of a zealous street preacher, echoing in the inner sanctum of one's mind.

In conclusion, Ricardo Santos' 2010 Malbec is a vinous riddle wrapped in an enigmatic enigma, destined to provoke laughter, tears, and existential contemplation. A masterpiece of humorous absurdity in a glass!

Domaine Ninot

Chaponnière Rully Pinot Noir 2018

Warm dusty cherry & raspberry with with moss, warm earth, a fresh herby streak & whiff of orange peel.
On the palate this is fresh, lively, with zippy acidity, quite firm tannins and light yet fragrant on the fruit.
Great purity here & beautiful drinkability. I’d love to see more depth & complexity, but thieves really nice.

Three Thieves

California Republic Pinot Grigio 2021

Really pleasant. Very light and easy drinking; heavy green apple and lemon flavors with apricot. It's got a mineral edge but not in a typical limestone sort of way. Would buy again, but it doesn't last very long, so finish the bottle within a day. Two max. — 8 months ago
