“The Return of Mike Grammer” Dinner on 7/5. - since the Valentini Cerasuolo was oxidized I’m glad this more than pulled its own weight for the Rosé flight. Very interesting palate and texture. Skin contact and a bit more orange than rosé perhaps. Pepper and watermelon along with some violets. Shouldn’t have given up my local source, as when I went back for more the next day they were sold out. Another interesting wine from Nate Ready under the Hiyu / Smockshop Band label. — 7 years ago

I’m intrigued by Nate Ready’s Hiyu project from the Hood River region in Oregon. This is characterized as a field blend of white/red Burgundian grapes made as alpine style white wine. Really interesting, but difficult for me to get past the $95 price point. Nate’s related Smockshop Band label has some wines that are just as interesting in the $30-$55 range. Worth checking out if you want to unleash your inner wine geek. — 7 years ago
