Viognier with a Vibe. This wine is basically a peachy daydream in a glass. It kicks off with a burst of freshness and acidity that’s unusually lively for a Viognier, like it had a double espresso before showing up. Think white fleshy peach doing yoga in a field of jasmine and chamomile, aromatic, but not the kind that slaps you in the face with a bouquet. Just enough to make you feel fancy.
Then comes the minerality: it starts with a whisper on the nose and ends with a full-on salty surprise mic drop on your palate. Like licking a rock at Hanlon's Point (but in a good way, really). Citrus? Oh yes. Lemon juice, lemon zest, maybe even lemon doing cartwheels. And a cameo from nectarine just to keep things juicy.
It’s got drive, it’s got energy, and it’s got texture. Like a wine that knows how to dance and write a killer short story. That light bitterness at the back? It’s the plot twist that keeps you turning the page… or, in this case, cracking another bottle. — a month ago

Delicious Maréchal Foch! Dark but not too jammy, blackberry, black cherry and earthy characters, spice, smoke, and a lingering vanilla undertone. Leathery, a little like licking a saddle. Get it while you can; this wine is not foching about! — 3 months ago

This wine has it all. Leather and incense, lovely and dry on the tongue. Some fruit, but it is buried, so it's not cloying at all. Perfect with pretty much anything from shrimp to steak and pork.
It's a perfect Friday night, on a date... or in a ditch alone. — 6 months ago

Pine, yes indeed. But I love pine, our neighbour put in a giant pine in the backyard, and I love it!
I'm looking forward to my next bottle. Sits well with lamb sausage and grilled veggies, just as the Greeks intended. — 2 months ago

Exceptional Pineau d'Aunis. White pepper, tannins, dryness while being bright and effervescent on the tongue. Just the right amount of Sharpie Marker to make it a perfect drop. — 3 months ago
