#Orange wine SZN. I’m skeptical yet hopeful about the orange wine renaissance, probably the first real fad I’ve observed since becoming a more educated wine drinker. I’m all for more variety and more interesting shit. Sadly, this friend doesn’t bring a whole lot to write home about. It’s a very pleasant but one-note Grenache Blanc with the quirks of tannins and the orange color. Which is all well and good but for $20+ I’m expecting a little more. In other words:

1. Skin fermentation
2. ???
3. Profit
