Even without the celeb endorsement La Sorga’s “Chuck” is the best red pet nat ever. Extremely alive, it’s 100% Gamay, carbonated like a Topo Chico. Tiny bubbles and lots and lots of them.
Bone dry, it looks like berries then roundhouse kicks to minty moss and forest growth. — 4 years ago
Birthday 2020 wine. A richly complex layered wine. Nose: chalk, schists flint, vanilla yoplait, candied lemons. Palette: truly a wild journey but grounded in this like best cream soda of your life vibe. Candied citrus, salinity, sweet morning bun. A hint of musty cellar but just the right amount not off putting. Texture is like a melllow marshmallow topo Chico. Pleasantly long finish. Great acidity and bubbles all around. Fantastic stuff, will acquire another bottle to drink maybe birthday 2030. Hope there are sufficient antibody tests and be able to leave the apartment by then. — 5 years ago

Vermouth is just an underrated option overall as a stand-alone drink.
I like to first sip a new bottle with an ice cube to understand its flavor notes. But I think my favorite way to drink it is with club soda (Canada Dry is pretty much the best club soda with no added minerals — Topo Chico is good if you’re looking for mineralized soda water). So I add about three quarters of a standard rocks glass with club soda over a large whiskey rock style of ice and then pour vermouth directly over, watching it diffuse with the soda to etch out a light cola, dark amber, color.
This ones got notes of mocha, cinnamon, citrus, cocoa, cola, orange peel, and even some spruce.
Really just all around wonderful coffee cola sweet and savory flavors. I prefer a slightly lighter Spanish style sweet vermouth, but this is a good change up. — 4 years ago
I could chug this like a MGD 40oz.
+ Topo Chico and ice. Great combo. — 5 years ago
Purchased at Weimax. Definitely a favorite - red blend with red fruit aromas and very smooth. — 5 years ago

Wow, worthy of any comparison to Champagne!! Yeasty, deep, subtle bubbles, slightly saline. Served some to the fam with Aperol and (lime twist) topo chico. Excellent. Chef’s kiss. — 2 years ago
