This is nice. It tastes like one of those glou-glou Cab Francs from the Loire. It’s light. It’s a little simple. But it’s delicious and super refreshing with a light chill. I’m not sure if I’d pair it with Sunny Day Real Estate, as suggested on the label, but it was good with a burger.

Light and fresh and dry, with pleasant spice. Doesn’t feel special, but a very easy and pleasant drink
