Our friends deck coming along nicely. The kitchen bar & lighting is in.
Tastes really good tonight. Showing more of the right kind of oxidative notes I enjoy.
Golden & green apple, braised pear, overripe pineapple, lemon, lime juice, nougat, some apple cider, vanillin, yeast, bread dough & crust, sea fossils, grey volcanics, limestone, white spice, gentle, powdery chalkiness, micro oxygenation, excellent with spring flowers, yellow flowers & withering white lilies. Excellent acidity. The finish is rush, smartly balanced, elegant and persistent. — 6 years ago

I’m baaaack! I’m sure no one missed me but I’ve been off the app for a while. Lots of life happening. So. Decided to jump back on due to a new to me Rose’ that I discovered. Germans can make wine! This is a wonderful deck wine with all types of food or by itself to celebrate the end of a long day. Everyone has described this wine spot on. For me though I get a slight hint of cinnamon on the end and the acidity is primo with smoked meats or a nice charcuterie! Love finding new gems! Enjoy. PS. I love this super-chilled but it is good at room temp as well. Thanks for putting up with the amateur!!! — 2 years ago

The is a pleasant sparkling wine from the Loire valley. It’s fun to see a sparkling wine with a touch of cab franc. Pleasant pear with nice acidity. Bright, young, and enjoyable. Slight green apple and very faint cherry. This is different and fun to drink on a back deck for Labor Day weekend. — 7 years ago
I always express my honest thoughts...sometimes to a fault. Perhaps, I’m about to walk that line here but, really believe in honest expressions. Especially, with wine. In full disclosure, I was a little disappointed in our visit to Outpost. I loved our host Sara. However, some of the wines tasted seemed as if they had seen too much air. Either from being opened to long, not properly vacuumed or should have used a Corvain in the original/previous pouring’s to keep them fresh(er).
The nose reveals jammy fruits of, spiced & baked; blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, dry pouched cranberries and plums. Steeped fruit teas, black & white pepper, prune of glass edge with dark withering flowers.
The body is medium full, round with beautiful fruits. It’s juicy but, a little watery & flabby. I believe from too much air. Blueberries, spiced & baked; blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, dry pouched cranberries and plums. Steeped fruit teas, black & white pepper, limestone minerals, crushed rocks, prune of glass edge with dark withering flowers & violets. The acidity is like a rainfall. The finish is polished, lean, watery, ripe but, well polished.

An honest well balanced textbook RRV chard. Fruity but sophisticated, avoiding too much oak or anything. Went great with a scallop pasta with lemon, garlic, and greens. Even better when remembering a late '90's visit to the winery and sipping this on the back deck. — 9 years ago

The description: The colour is salmon, light pink rose. The aromas show fresh strawberries, cranberry and hints of white pepper. The palate is where the romance is. The texture is crisp almost crunchy, which brings out the fresh strawberry and red tree fruit characters. This wines truly refreshes the palate… and soul.
The opinion. Perfect for quaffing on the deck and great value. Definitely buying in a dozen for summer. — 2 years ago
