Les Riceys Brut Champagne

Sacred Thirst tasting. That's pretty. Cleanses the palate, and the loins. — 8 years ago

Viña Zorzal

Navarra Graciano 2013

Sacred Thirst tasting. The heart of the project. This was the first wine that Xabi produced in 2007. Good kick up front. — 8 years ago

Fredi Torres

Classic Priorat Red Blend 2014

Sacred Thirst tasting. I enjoyed the roundness here. Not crazy over the top Priorat, but restrained while inviting. Hearty stews would pair well. I guess I was hungry too. — 8 years ago

Château de Rey

Oh de Muscat Côtes Catalanes Blanc 2015

Both the name and grape and, frankly, fact that it was from Roussillon made me think it wouldn’t be for me. And it totally is. It has all the markers of Muscat flavor—honeydew, orange blossom, honeysuckle and peach juice...with...SURPRISE! It is dry as can be with a big kick of sea spray salinity and squeeze of lemon. Fresh. And then I realized it was a Sacred Thirst import and it all made sense. This wine is cool and surprising. It’s the soccer mom who doesn’t try too hard to fit in with her teenaged kids but also just happens to make her own organic juices and was married to a rock star and...oh shit this wine is Gwyneth Paltrow. And it is beautiful as her. Seriously drink with eyes closed and you are at a bonfire party on the beach eating melon. So into it. — 6 years ago
