Varietally Incorrect Zinfandel 2021

2021. We loved this lighter bodied, lower abv Zinfandel. The tart red fruits made a perfect match with both a kale salad with dried cranberries and with pasta and spicy sausages. — a year ago

What a nose. Spice, cocoa, earth and very complex. Cherries as well. Super expansive. Leather and wood shavings. Cherry liquer. Wow. Stunning aromas. Palate has energy and purity for days plus awesome sappy texture and grippy but sweet tannins and wonderful sappy cherries. Good freshness and texture and very nimble. This has serious structure and will age very very well. — 3 years ago

Venturi Vineyard Carignan

Super jammy with a good amount of acid. Taste sour cherries as well. Great for a Friday night where we opened it while we were cooking and finished it with dinner. — 6 years ago

Venturi Vineyard Vermentino 2022

2022. Enjoyed the 2021 earlier this year, but this pairing of ricotta ravioli and brown butter sage sauce really worked well with the nutty bitterness in the finish of the wine. — 2 years ago

Mendocino Benchlands Zinfandel-Nero d'Avola Blend 2020

Pretty unusual blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Nero d’Avola from different vineyards in Mendocino County. Fermented separately and then aged in barrel for 6 months. Beautiful, complex nose with notes of red and dark fruit. Cherry cola, cinnamon and some smoky notes. Fresh, medium-bodied. Tart red fruit, some blood orange. Great acidity. Fun, very enjoyable — 3 years ago

Benson Ranch Young Vine Nero d'Avola Rosato 2020

2020. My second February enjoying a bottle of this delicious Rosato! The fruit flavors and crisp finish paired so well with marinated tomatoes.
I need to order more than one bottle of the next vintage so I can try it in the summer…

I'm Prickly Piquette

The “Cactus” Piquette was made from their Out to the Meadow field blend skins. This is my last bottle of the Cactus, and it really held up well in the fridge. Paired great with roasted asparagus with lemon and Swiss chard with balsamic. — 2 years ago

Out to the Meadow Chenin Blanc Blend 2020

I’m not a “natural wine” devotee necessarily, but I am a Martha devotee.

Out to The Meadow is almost always one of my favorites in her line up. Chenin driven, this wine shows the variety’s funkier side on the nose (honeysuckle, wet wool, hay, gray stones). On the palate, it balances sweet (honey, honeysuckle) and sour (incredible tart, barely ripe green apple, white nectarine); fruity, vegetal and just the right amount of bitter (at least for those of us with an bias towards Italian whites) with Vermentino’s unmistakable salty fennel/herbal/grapefruit pith on the finish. Have no idea what “green hungarian” and “chasselas doré” add to the blend, but I trust the master and her modern interpretation of what a century old California field blend would have looked and tasted like.

Wet wool? Living by the beach my wool suits get that funk, not sure I want that smell when I open a bottle 🤷🏼‍♂️🫣

Jus Jus Night Chardonnay Muscat

A wine as bubbly as it’s label. It’s the friend that puts you in a good mood simply because you’re going to hang out, and you haven’t even met up yet.

Low alcohol and easy to sip or chug, no party fouls included. It’s not low on flavor—pineapple and juicy Granny Smith, a little bit of butter bread, and some Haribo peachy-o-yeses. Don’t let the sweet scare you, let it warm up a little bit from its chill chill mega chill and it smooths out like a summer sunset.
