My favorite region, Vacqueyras, is always a joy to save for myself when I know I’ll have a Friday night in. That way I can sit, sip, and enjoy a glass, not worrying about time passing or the pressure of people. I pair with slow old timey New York City jazz, Flamenco, or some newly discovered West African Blues, a good book, or a classic film.

As always, the bouquet is rich, drupel fruits, dried figs, tobacco, juicy plums, and even the thick vegetation of a forest in a Florida summer.

This bottle reminds me of why I fell in love with this underrated region in the first place — the body is complex. Medium to full. It’s got its own charisma. The cranberries up front drop to a smokey barbecue of artichokes, then finally a nice lemon zip at the end lingers.
