More interesting than good. With the right, funky pairing it would sing.

One of the coolest wines in the world. Always excited to find the rare bottle of 2000 left on a wine list. Earthy and rich but still remarkably fresh and just the most killer food wine.

A perennial favorite rose for me, this seemed a little more oak on the nose than I remember. The palate is still the fresh and bracing salinity and blood orange. Great stuff if you can find it!

Such a classic. Oxidized yet fresh, and a solid match for grilled wieners & corn.

Peach yogurt, cranberry, tart raspberry, distinctive salinity and searing acidity. Almond oil, unripe tangerine.
