With each sip of this tropical fruit and honeysuckle explosion, my mind’s eye builds another block of my future backyard habitat and eagerly anticipates the inevitable butterfly perfusion — monarchs in time-lapse fanning out to take up temporary residence in every inch of milkweed, bull thistle, and salvia. While I can’t stop environmental destruction, I can create my own environmental insurrection. Monterey Wine Club. D: “Deep Taste David” feels “refreshed” by this buttery, lemony, something-or-other. — 7 years ago

Very different from a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon but outstanding in its own right. Deep, dark in color, nice fruit, very soft tannins, alcohol and acidity near perfect balance, nice mouth feel. Best of all they donate proceeds to the Mission San Antonio de Padua. Label is secondary label from Marin's Vineyard. — 10 years ago
