The Escapist

Domaine de Fontsainte

Gris de Gris Corbières Grenache Gris Rosé 2019

It’s rosé, how high could one possibly rate it? 90% Grenache Gris. Refined. Refreshing. Escapist. — 6 years ago

Daou Vineyards

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Capping off a full week of maddening isolation with this Yardhouse curbside pickup wine that is delicious and reasonably priced without the corkage fee. Dark cherries, violets, sage, earth. Both grounding and escapist at the same time. — 6 years ago

Antica Masseria del Sigillo

Primitivo di Manduria

This is deliciously soothing. Honey on burnt toast and raspberry jam. A non-guilty pleasure for a time when you feel perpetually guilty for not feeling guilty every second of every day about what’s happening. Escapist wine from Puglia. Purchase again as a buffer against evil. A high scorer from Eataly, I think. D: Very cherry, berry, boldish, Polish (?), spicy, ratty, matty, oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen. — 8 years ago
